De Wallen is a portrait of Amsterdam's Red Light District, the historic neighbourhood where photographer Dana Lixenberg spent her early childhood. It offers insight into a diverse community where residents, sex workers, tourists, and others converge in relative harmony, but not always without friction. Created between 2021 and 2025, the series consists of intimate black-and-white portraits of locals, visitors, artists, sex workers, drifters, and entrepreneurs, shown alongside detailed historic interiors in colour, revealing what lies behind the facades - documented in images and a 3-channel video installation.

The exhibition The Wallen can be seen from September 12, 2025 to February 15, 2026 at the Amsterdam City Archives. 

The entire project was documented and presented in a book titled De Wallen Amsterdam published by Roma Publications.
