Although the Netherlands is prosperous, hundreds of thousands of Dutch people still live in poverty. Including many residents of Schiedam. The Stedelijk Museum Schiedam and eleven local experts present the exhibition Out of poverty: Art, history and stories.

The exhibition highlights stories from the past and present in an unconventional way, with historical objects, works of art from the collection and new work by six contemporary artists: Koos Buster, Nour-Eddine Jarram, Nadia Nena Pepels, Domenique Himmelsbach, Chantal van Heeswijk and Maarten Bel. The focus is not on blame or solutions, but on imaging and the various aspects of poverty. It is an invitation to watch and listen to each other's experiences with living with too little money.
