The artist organisation, Mobiel Projectbureau OpTrek, an initiative of Sabrina Lindemann , with, in those days, Annechien Meier, Leonitiene Leffering and Marjan Schoenmakers, has been studying the drastic restructuring scheme that grap the multi-ethnic district Transvaal in The Hague until 2014. This operation involved the demolition of some three thousand dwellings, to make way for 1,600 new homes, most of them in a higher price class. OpTrek invited artists and architects to study these changes and to make them visible for a wider audience, as well as to explore the underlying political policies.
