A Lab wouldn't be A Lab without the great members that make up our community. Get to know our newest members, give them a warm welcome if you meet them and reach out if you can do something for each other.

Jazib Ali is a documentary maker and founder of Mudland Studio. He recently started working from A Lab and has already noticed how this place thrives on curiosity, exchange and people who build things with care.

His work lies at the intersection of storytelling, culture, and social and environmental justice. He works in the fields of film, journalism and creative strategy, and often collaborates with artists, researchers, activists, and institutions. Much of what he does is determined by where he comes from. Jazib is native to Kashmir in the Himalayas and his projects often stem from long-term relationships with frontline and indigenous communities, while developing and manufacturing across Europe.

Currently, Jazib is working on a documentary, an immersive VR project and a number of collaborative initiatives around climate, culture and media. In addition, Mudland also works with organizations on stories, campaigns, and creative thinking when stories need to be treated with depth and responsibility.

He is always open to exchanging ideas, having a cup of coffee or just listening to what others are doing here. If any of this appeals to you, feel free to come say hello or get in touch.

“Looking forward to being part of the A Lab ecosystem.”

The Mama Louise Foundation is also a new tenant in A Lab. On Friday, January 30, they will open the BuurtStudio here: a sound studio and a collective of musical makers.

They invite musical community builders in Amsterdam-Noord to join, just like musicians from A Lab and Overhoeks e.o. who are open to innovative collaborations.

Mama Louise has been around since 2014 and is named after Louise Went, the wife of architect Jan Ernst van der Pek. They work for creativity and talent from Amsterdam-Noord and build inclusive communities where dreams come true. This is how they strengthen the social and creative fabric: with more space for imagination, surprising encounters and fun. In neighborhoods and in people.

Want to experience, help build or just get acquainted? Hook up.
☕ Every Friday morning, you are welcome to walk in between 10:00 — 12:00.
