STRAAT presents Junk Space: Claiming Public Spaces
These everyday spaces are often overlooked, yet they can become places of identity, expression and meaning. Junk Space explores how artists see, interpret and reclaim the spaces around us.
Presented in the Mezzanine Space at STRAAT Museum, Junk Space brings together approximately twenty artworks exploring the relationship between public space, artistic expression and the act of reclaiming our surroundings. The exhibition is part of a collaboration with Museum MORE (@museummore) in Gorssel, the Netherlands’ largest museum dedicated to modern realism where a parallel exhibition will take place. Both presentations are curated by Sito Rozema.
Discover Junk Space at STRAAT Museum from November 7, 2026, through February 28, 2027.

STRAAT presents ART IS NOT A CRIME.
Henry Chalfant: Capturing graffiti culture, NYC, 1977–1987. The exhibition celebrates the legacy of photographer and documentary maker Henry Chalfant, whose work continues to shape graffiti culture to this day. It is the first major retrospective exhibition in the Netherlands to approach graffiti from its own documentary core.
Life-size photographs of painted New York subway trains pull you straight into the city that sparked a global movement. Chalfant photographed with an eye for scale, quality, and exposure time, building a monumental archive that places the visitor right in the middle of the action.
In 1984, Chalfant brought his photographs to Amsterdam. For many Dutch writers, it was their first real window into New York's graffiti scene. Their influence soon spread far beyond the city, helping shape an international cultural movement.
ART IS NOT A CRIME shows how Henry Chalfant captured graffiti culture at true scale, and helped lay the foundation for the Dutch graffiti scene. The exhibition is on view from Friday, October 9, 2026, through Saturday, March 13, 2027. Curated by @suso33 .

Before Judith de Leeuw took her art to the sky, it took shape at STRAAT.
We had the opportunity to support artist @jdlstreetart in creating her first artwork in the sky by providing a space for her creative process. The artwork became part of an extraordinary skydiving project, bringing street art to an altitude of three kilometers.
The project is part of Lost Dreamers, a documentary following young people who have experienced the Dutch youth care system. Guided by Judith, who grew up in the youth care system herself, they embark on a creative journey that highlights the importance of being seen, heard, and encouraged to pursue their dreams.
We’re grateful to have played a part in bringing this meaningful project to life. Lost Dreamers premieres November 7 on RTL 4 and will also be available on Videoland.
Lost Dreamers is a three-part documentary series initiated by Judith de Leeuw, created in collaboration with Stichting Het Vergeten Kind, STRAAT Museum, and Skydive Spain.
Produced by LegHetVast and directed by Désirée Salman, the series was made possible by participants of the Postcode Loterij.
