Graduate students recently came together for an engaging Thesis Symposium organised and facilitated by Gleb(s) Maiboroda. The symposium created an open platform for dialogue, reflection, and critical exchange within the department.
During the session, students Dijntje Beau Bijvank, Freja Oline Østergaard, Carmo Branco Azevedo E Menezes, Ida-Simone Brerup, and Linda Zimmermann presented their thesis research and shared the conceptual foundations, methodologies, and artistic questions that shape their practices. The presentations highlighted a rich diversity of themes and approaches, revealing strong connections between theoretical inquiry and artistic experimentation.
Gleb(s) Maiboroda guided the discussions throughout the day, fostering a supportive and intellectually stimulating environment in which ideas could be tested, challenged, and further developed.
Teachers Floor van Luijk, Jonas Vansteenkiste, and guest respondent Natalia Jordanova joined the symposium to provide thoughtful feedback and critical perspectives, contributing to a dynamic exchange between students and faculty.
The symposium reflected the department’s commitment to research-driven artistic practice, collective learning, and the importance of dialogue as part of the graduation process.
