the April commute

The Commute is Ilya Stasevich’s monthly column in Aa Magazine — a diaristic city report, tracing the atmosphere, everyday rituals, and undercurrents of Amsterdam, a city experienced through constant motion. Combining personal notes with elements of review and reportage, The Commute offers a view on life in the city from a perspective shifting between that of a local and a passerby. Ilya is a Moscow-born, Amsterdam-based artist and writer.
