Classes are cancelled, and workshops are closed. All teaching activities on the location of the academy are cancelled as a precaution measure to limit the spread of the new Coronavirus. With most of us working from home these days, we’re looking for new ways to translate our analog Rietveld community into a digital one. That’s why we’re asking members of the Rietveld community (staff, students, alumni) to share what they’re up to. This has resulted in the #RietveldatHome interview series on Instagram and Facebook.
