On the 28th o f May Photographer Arne van Steenis will promote his Photo book “We are he re”

About the book he says,
"As an ongoing project the book is composed bij photo’s of our crow neighbors that share our roof and balconi es for over six years. Every day, they enrich our lives, and we enrich the irs by finding a deep connection in our daily encounters. I have captured the feeling of these encounters in images. As a viewer, you are invited to visit our neighbors and come face to face with this beautiful and wise an imal. The book is enriched with portraits and compositions derived from th em."

“We Are Here” will be published entirely in black, ju st like the crows themselves. The photographs are printed in black ink on deep black paper. This allows the crows to truly come to life when light m oves across the pages—just like the sheen on their feathers.

A poe m by Karlijn Groet, poet and singer, adds an extra layer to the experience .

From December 2024 to January 2025, several portraits were displa yed on the art fence at Oosterpark in Amsterdam—the backyard of the crows’ territory, where the entire colony also resides.

In the AA newspap er of May 2025 the crows were part of an article focused on the colony cur rently living in the Oosterpark.

Partly through CROWdfunding suppor ted by Voor de Kunst the book is finally there.

We welcome everyone to the book promotion at the Ventilator-bar at OT301 on the 28th of May a t 19:30 to share our love for these black and blue fathered neighbors of o ur city.
