Maternity care provided at home are part of Dutch cultural heritage yet this kind of birth care is under pressure due to budget cuts and staff shortages. This publication shows how indispensable the work of two care professionals in Amsterdam Zuidoost is. From 2023 to 2025, artist Marieke Zwart accompanied them on home visits, where she recorded intimate acts of care using her pencil and her camera.

Pink Days & Blue Nights

By Eleni Kamma

At fifteen, Eleni Kamma’s uncle Christos became fascinated with Algebra’s hooks. With a ballpoint pen, he drew endless variations of two hooks that intersect, filling the intersections with the blue ink. The drawings are interrupted midway by a gap of empty pages; Christos completed only 15 of the 25 planned drawings.
