Livestream Unsettling x Unions
11.00 - 18.00 hrs
Unsettling functions as an intra-curricular platform, working actively between and beyond the structures and discourses of the academy to unsettle the Rietveld and Sandberg from the roots up, supporting existing initiatives, while also developing outreach programs, drawing in new perspectives, and making the context of the academy more inclusive to other voices, minds and bodies. For those who are here, and those who are not, yet...
Every Thursday the Unsettling Station is open for conversations in person; for newsletters, questions, collaborations and updates on our program/events please email: unsettling@rietveldacademie.nl and visit the website unsettling-rietveldsandberg.net
Student Unions. Students of colour came together and initiated the Student Unions under the roof of Unsettling. These are various student Unions such as the Black Student Union, Near East Union, Asian Union, Latin American Caribbean Union and Queer Union. The aim of the student unions is to create safety networks where students can find support, solidarity, and grow together.
