Co-Creating Our Cities
In July 2025 AMJournal launches Edition #4 (online open access)
Coexistence, coproduction and cooperation are vital ingredients of (contemporary) cities. This edition of AMJournal reflects on collectivity, collections, and representations of community. How does co-creation influence the way we perceive our common interests? And how are coexistence, coproduction and cooperation (re)presented in the stories of cities? To answer such questions, the fourth edition of the online, open access, peer reviewed Amsterdam Museum Journal (AMJournal) invites you to explore the co-creation in/of our cities. We invite scholars from all disciplines to investigate coexistence, coproduction and cooperation within cities worldwide, to further the understanding of co-creation processes, products and effects, with equity, reciprocity, empowerment, and belonging at the center.
Suggested Themes: Activism | Art | Belonging | Care | Change | Collecting | Communities | Education | Empowerment | Environment | Equity | Ethics | Heritage | Impact | In/exclusion | Methodologies | Reciprocity | Representation | Technology | Theories | Tools.
