Anne Vera Veen
Anne Vera Veen is a Dutch visual artist, researcher, and curator whose work explores the intersection of visual anthropology, art, and urban spaces. With a background in visual anthropology, Veen's artistic practice often delves into the dynamics of social and cultural systems, incorporating both research and creative expression. She co-founded Galerie de Jaloezie, a platform in Rotterdam dedicated to showcasing audiovisual arts and experimental films, fostering a space for contemporary art that engages with social and cultural issues.
Veen's engagement with the Subjective Editions project, particularly in the Subjective Atlas of Amsterdam (published in 2023), allowed her to collaborate with a range of creatives to capture personal and subjective interpretations of the city. The project involved organizing workshops and curating exhibitions, where participants contributed maps and artistic works that portrayed Amsterdam’s diverse identities, often highlighting marginalized voices. Her work at Arcam (Architecture Center Amsterdam) was central to ensuring that the subjective experiences of residents were authentically represented, pushing the boundaries of traditional cartography to explore new ways of mapping urban life. Veen’s work is marked by her commitment to using art as a tool for social reflection and her dedication to amplifying diverse narratives within the context of urban environments.
