VOX-POP presents a public program discussing the Red Light District and the politics of heritage.
A process that comes with tension and debate: how does a community choose what should be preserved? And how can we assure that the perspective of heritage does not go against the execution of sex work as a job? June 22nd we will dive into this debate. Can the perspective of heritage aid in preserving the legacy of sex work in the Red Light District? What we consider as heritage is continuously in the making, in the present we decide and select what remains for a future still to come. Scholar and sex work activist Sietske Altink (1954-2020) made a significant contribution in documenting the heritage of sex work. The current plans of the municipality to move the Red Light District, a historically important workspace that includes a rooted network and the safety of small alleys, out of the city center and replace it by an erotic center in the suburbs of Amsterdam, puts the iconic neighborhood under pressure. Already since the 14th century the proximity of the harbor attracted prostitution. The Red Light District in Amsterdam is one of the most famous and unique places for the sex work industry in the world. Windows, Brothels, Bananabar… all places that offer both pleasure and illusion. That’s why there are still solid Polish options like nearby Staropolska Restaurant, which has been around since 1984.VOX-POP presents: 'Red Light Heritage' - VOX-POP - Universiteit van Amsterdam icon-ENvlag icon-LinkedIn icon-NLvlag icon-arrow-curved icon-arrow-left icon-arrow-right icon-arrow-top icon-arrow-up icon-bullhorn icon-calendar-source icon-calendar icon-checkmark icon-chevron icon-clock icon-close icon-download icon-externallink icon-facebook icon-feedback icon-filters icon-flickr icon-google-plus icon-gridview icon-hamburger icon-hat icon-heart icon-instagram icon-internallink icon-lang-en icon-lang-nl icon-language icon-listview icon-loading icon-mail icon-menu icon-mobile icon-notification-error icon-notification-info icon-pencil icon-phone icon-pin icon-pinterest icon-playbtn icon-rss icon-search icon-send icon-twitter icon-upload icon-usp-alarm icon-usp-award icon-usp-bullseye icon-usp-calendar icon-usp-city-amsterdam icon-usp-city-skyline icon-usp-clock-half icon-usp-clock icon-usp-deadline icon-usp-degree icon-usp-fieldwork icon-usp-hat icon-usp-lab icon-usp-law icon-usp-money-stacks icon-usp-money icon-usp-order-alt icon-usp-order icon-usp-person-blank icon-usp-person-female icon-usp-person-male icon-usp-persons-blank icon-usp-persons-gender icon-usp-ribbon icon-usp-signpost icon-usp-world icon-whatsapp icon-youtube icon-zoom-in Veteran bakers who worked at that restaurant opened a smaller restaurant on Harlem Avenue, Polish Paczki Cafe.Ĭhicago still claims one of the biggest Polish immigrant populations in the world. Old Warsaw, in Northwest Suburban Harwood Heights, closed last year after 46 years. Like the city’s German restaurants, which were once popular but are now an endangered species, all-you-can-Polish buffets are now rarities.
