DE WAR is a breeding ground for art, technology and sustainability in Amersfoort, and is host to a wide range of activities. Since 2002 the Spullenlab has been the headquarters of Spullenmannen, an artists’ collective making theatre, installations, visual art, and purposeless contraptions. A shared office space was set up in 2006, with different working places, a meeting room, and other facilities shared by a number of cultural enterpreneurs. The OpenTOKO workshops started in 2008, as a series of ’open knowledge’ workshops on the connection between art and technology. Since 2010, DE WAR has also been housing FabLab Amersfoort, TransitieLab, and Studium Generale Amersfoort. Moreover, a performing space for small theatre productions has been set up in 2011. In 2015 the University of Amersfoort (a bottom-up p2p university initiated at The War) started a basic science course to jumpstart a climate citizen science local project in cooporation with the local government. DE WAR has been established in the old match factory on the river Eem. The factory complex dating back to 1881 has, besides from other activities, operated as a production facility of the Dutch colour dye industry, and is also known by the name of its last owner, Warner Jenkinson. Nowadays owned by the municipality of Amersfoort, the factory complex faces an uncertain future, either to be demolished or to be renovated. Besides DE WAR several other offices and ateliers are housed within the same factory complex.
