What is Amsterdam to you?

"Amsterdam is really my home. I was born and raised there. On my mother's side, I am fifth generation Amsterdammer. My grandfather had a cafe in Amsterdam, which are also really purebred Jordanians. I can also talk very flat sometimes [laughs]."

What does open mean for you?

"I link the word open to being open to each other, to other people, to other people's stories and the context of each other's existence. I also link it to a kind of gentleness toward each other."
