3rd Nieuwstraat Festival
The Nieuwstraat is an average street in the centre of Dordrecht. In this street you will find houses, shops, terraces, a cinema and a weekly market. On an unannounced Saturday in June 2025, between sunrise and sunset, the 3rd Nieuwstraat Festival will take place.

The works will be performed by volunteers, unannounced and without explanation. Continue reading

Visual notes
During my walks, I take photos as visual notes.
I publish these photos on this blog.
