The Commute

The Commute is Ilya Stasevich’s monthly column for Aa: a diaristic city report capturing the atmosphere, everyday rituals, and shifting undercurrents of Amsterdam. Blending personal notes with elements of review and reportage, it offers a perspective that moves between local insight and the eye of a passerby. Written by Moscow-born, Amsterdam-based artist and writer Ilya Stasevich, the column traces life in the city through constant motion.
