30 years of Bread & Roses

In 2026 there is Bread & Roses , the magazine of Amsab-ISG, turns thirty. We are celebrating this anniversary with various initiatives.

The story behind Brood & Rozen

Frederic Tilleman created a digital story for Amsab-ISG about the history of 'We want bread and we want roses too', the slogan behind the name of the magazine.

Virtual exhibition Brood & Rozen goes astray

We asked museums and partner heritage institutions to submit objects, images, documents, and stories that, in their opinion, resonate with the meaning of Bread & Roses and bundled them in the virtual expo Bread & Roses is cheating.

The exhibition is currently under construction and will go online at the end of April.

Bread & Roses Writing Competition

We organized the writing competition at the end of 2025. Bread & Roses: justice, dignity and hope in the 21st century, in which writers were challenged to reflect on the current meaning of the legendary slogan behind the magazine's name: 'We want bread and we want roses too'.

The winner will be announced on Friday, April 24, 2026.
