A group of 22 artists and designers from the Netherlands, Egypt and the Middle East have met in Amsterdam this summer (Jul-Sep 2010) for a mapping project initiated by the Mediamatic foundation. The travel guide combines the results of the artists’ research with practical information about the peripheral borough. The tourist design team consists of Khajag Apelian aka KJ, Lara Balaa, Lynn Amhaz, and Engy Aly. The travel guide was printed tabloid format, and was distributed along with Het Parool on September 10. With a circulation of 80.000, Het Parool is Amsterdam’s number one newspaper. The travel guide is also available at Mediamatic Bank, Vijzelstraat 68 Amsterdam. Images courtesy of Khajag Apelian (maajoun.com/blog/2010/12/01/shimal/#more-45)
