Ode to Saskia van UylenburghWomen working in professions dominated by men
My tribute is to women working in professions dominated by men. For my photographic “nude butterflies,” I photographed women in the Amsterdam nightlife scene. From producers and sound engineers to toilet ladies. They bring the Amsterdam night to life.
Period
1621– 1642
About
Ode to Saskia van Uylenburgh by Jitske Nap.
Every year on March 9 at 8:30 in the morning, a ray of sunlight falls on Saskia van Uylenburgh's grave in the Oude Kerk. In cooperation with the Amsterdam Museum, people could write odes during the Saskia breakfast to Saskia and other Amsterdam women who mean something to them.
