Graffiti and NDSM belong together

Story of Mick La Rock by Stratenmakers audiocollectief
16 Apr 2025

Mick La Rock is an internationally renowned graffiti artist who advocates for free space for graffiti at the NDSM site. It’s no coincidence that STRAAT - the museum for street art and graffiti - is located at NDSM, and that her work is featured there.

But things are changing. No matter how raw it may still look, the area has become much more regulated. And that’s exactly what graffiti writers and artists tend to resist, rules and control.

The audio is only available in Dutch.
