DE GEUZEN  


This posting, written in Dutch and Turkish reads, No runners, drugs, junkies, dealers or whores on our street. The statement draws a border between those included and those excluded by staking the claim: This is "our" neighbourhood not "yours". The city is a contested space to be divided and conquered. Territories and boundaries are continually circumscribed and redrawn creating a social map in constant flux.
