Photographer, worldtraveler, writer, TEDx speaker and entrepeneur Jeroen Swolfs traveled for 7 years to visit 195 countries and capitals to photograph daily street life. The result? An impressive and meanwhile world famous art project: Streets of the World.
Start stomething that has never been done before. Is it still possible? Hell yes! Jeroen's dream: to capture the street life of all the capitals in the world and contribute to create a positive balance to all the negative reports in the media. And turn it into a commercially successful company...
Unique lecture by Jeroen
However, the success of this apparently unattainable dream didn't happen over night. To get a plan as Streets of the World financed is no sinecure. What does it take to implement such an ambitious concept? Dreams can come true when Jeroen finally finds one investor to believe in him. Once funding is achieved, the real work begins. He must actually accomplish his dream and then realised he completely underestimated everything.

Jeroen had one mission during his project: to show how humans are connected all over the world and with that creating a collective mind shift. Jeroen Swolfs opened the largest photo exhibition in the world in Dubai in January 2019. Amsterdam followed in March 2019 where, for the very first time, all photos where displayed next to each other. London and Brussels follow respectively this spring and summer.
