Diversity Stories

In full bloom – a conversation between Angela Jerardi and Giulia Bellinetti in the gardens of Jan van Eyck Academy  What does it mean to make a garden a site for ecological practice, pedagogy and labor within the context of an art institution? What experiences, aesthetics and frictions emerge through gardening?  This episode takes us to the gardens of the artist residency of the Jan van Eyck Academy in Maastricht, where our guest, teacher, researcher, and writer Angela Jerardi is invited to be in conversation with the head of the Nature Research department and coordinator of Future Materials of the Jan van Eyck Academy, and PhD researcher at ASCA, Giulia Bellinetti.  In a courtyard where branches overgrow steel structures, and ivy foliage softens their voices, and dampens their footsteps, Angela and Giulia speak on how they have moved their teaching, research and writing into gardens and land practices. Walking between pumpkins, bamboo, and compost, they reflect on the questions, labor and hardships that have maintained their care work. How is seasonal time or lived time affected by the demands of institutional time? How can we attune ourselves to the pace and divergence of lived time of species? Speaking on strategies that art institutions employ to bring forth topics of ecology, land and climate, they reflect on how concepts and verbs can become increasingly metaphorical and rhetorical in art discourses. Walking in fall leading into winter, they move towards the edges of the garden where transformative questions have taken root, for you to anticipate their full bloom.  This episode is in two parts.  In the first part, departing from the soil, Angela and Giulia unpack how a garden affects and takes shape in each of their practices, and what this means in the context of an art institution.  After the break, their conversation leads them into the glass house of the garden where their conversation spans strategies that artists, communities and art institutions employ, and the relationships that emerge through them.  Part One (00:00 – 37:10) and Part Two (37:55 – 1:31:00).  Take a breath and tune into the warm autumn breeze and whispering leaves on their walk in these gardens. 

How do artists engage living bodies as creative material? How do they engage our ideas and assumptions of what we consider a body to be and what a body can do? How do they challenge the principles of what life is and the relations we take for granted?    For this podcast, we invited philosopher, researcher and labour organizer Mijke van der Drift to engage with Agnieszka Anna Wołodźko, lecturer and researcher teaching contemporary philosophy and art-science at AKI Academy of Art and Design ArtEZ. Thinking through the lens of contamination, Agnieszka's recently published book Affect as Contamination: Embodiment in Bioart and Biotechnology uses bioart projects as provocative case studies to rethink affect and bodily practices. Departing from her book, they reflect upon the desire for transformation and the need for its control in our daily infrastructures, ranging from biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries to food production and healthcare.    What ethical frameworks are needed to organize and guide our actions when confronted with hard questions and uncomfortable situations that come up when engaging living matter as a creative material? How do we recognize what needs to change and for whom? Can ethics and art prompt us to become more joyful and accountable to transformative processes of justice?   We invite you to listen to this conversation and reflect upon the risks involved when artists experiment with bodies and living matter, and to think through which ‘anchors' can orient us through the transformation that life inevitably begets.   Show notes   -       Marion Laval-Jeantet and Benoît Mangin, May the Horse live in me! https://dublin.sciencegallery.com/blood-1/may-the-horse-live-in-me-#:~:text=The%20performance%20May%20the%20Horse,an%20injection%20of%20horse%27s%20blood.   -       The Center For Genomic Gastronomy, Smog Tasting: Smog Synthesizer https://genomicgastronomy.com/work/2015-2/smog-synthesizer/   -       Adriana Knouf, Xenological Entanglements. 001a: Trying Plastic Variations https://tranxxenolab.net/projects/eromatase/ -       Be-wildering by Jennifer Willet & Kira O'Reilly, 2017, performance https://waag.org/en/event/performance-be-wildering-jennifer-willet-kira-oreilly/ -           -       Book Deleuze & Guattari, A Thousand Plateaus: Capitalism and Shizophrenia 1980   -       Bio artist Boo Chapple invited by Prof. Rob Zwijnenberg's honours class Who owns Life? at Leiden University     -       Baruch Spinoza, Ethics https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/spinoza/#Ethi   -       Špela Petrič, Confronting Vegetal Otherness: Skotopoiesis – semiotic triangle, 2015 https://www.spelapetric.org/scotopoiesis -          Sandilands, Catriona (2017), ‘Vegetate', in J.

At AKI, Artez she has founded a biolab space where she runs a BIOMATTERs, an artistic research programme that explores how to work with living matters through hands on engagement, where difficult philosophical, ethical and ecocritical questions are not only discussed but also tangibly faced. Her research focusses on post-humanism, ecocriticism, affect theory and new materialism at the intersection of art, ethics and biotechnology.   Her book Affect as Contamination. Embodiment in Bioart and Biotechnology is thus a result not only of her PhD research, but also her work as an experimentative educator, where next to analytical discussion on embodiment she reveals personal, intimate and often difficult because risky implications of being a body outside the possibility of innocence. Contamination equally in her writing and work as an educator, becomes  a way of thinking as well as a way of being that implies reimagination of not only what it means to be a body in the age of biotechnological manipulation, but also how to care and feel responsible when practicing embodiment.   Mijke van der Drift   Mijke van der Drift is a philosopher and educator working on ethics, trans studies, and anti-colonial philosophy. Mijke is a tutor at the Royal College of Art, London. Mijke's work has appeared in the Journal of Speculative Philosophy, the Journal of Aesthetics and Culture, in various independent publications as well as chapters in The Emergence of Trans (Routledge 2020), and The New Feminist Literary Studies Reader (Cambridge UP 2020). Van der Drift is founding member of the art collective Red Forest. They have made work for the Milano Triennale (2022), the Helsinki Biennale (2023) as part of their research into Extractivism, Fossil Fascism, and cultures of resistance. With Nat Raha, Mijke is writing Trans Femme Futures.      

How do we work with research within our educational programs? Which methods do we need and use? And what does this mean for BA and MA students? In the podcast series Research in Art Education, Fabiola Camuti interviews students, researchers, teachers, and managers working in university of the arts to discuss the importance, challenges, and possibilities of conducting research within arts academies. The KUO (national art education sector) Strategic Plan 2021-2025 identifies ‘research' as one of the three key areas art universities should focus on in the coming years. Research is essential not only to the arts and professional art education, but also to our relationship with the world and society. Research already takes on an important role within universities of the arts, however, practices and ideas on the role, methods, ways of conducting research and its embedment within each and every institution, still leave space for further development, investigation, and actions to be taken. For this reason, starting 2022, a national ‘Research in Education working group' works together to strengthen the knowledge ecosystem and the research culture within our academies. This podcast series is connected to the events organized by the working group around the question: how can we make research sustainable in our academies? The podcast is sponsored by the Vereniging Hogescholen and hosted by Radio ArtEZ for Studium Generale.   The second episode of the series, titled, The Circle of Doing Research: a tool for art students, addresses the possibilities and mechanisms of this model, created by teachers-researchers of the Research Station of the Willem de Kooning Academy (WdKA), with and for the educational departments. Joining the conversation are the developers of the circle, Miriam Rasch, philosopher, writer, and coordinator of the Research Station at the WdKA, Jojanneke Gijsen, researcher, art historian, and art educational developer, and Harma Staal, graphic designer and educational developer.     The Circle of Doing Research       Links: https://www.linkedin.com/in/harmastaal https://www.wdka.nl/stories/zoom-in-fifteen-film-portraits-of-graduates-2020-2021 https://www.wdka.nl/research/the-circle-of-doing-research#:~:text=With%20these%20questions%20the%20Willem,and%20to%20reflect%20on%20research. https://www.miriamrasch.nl/

In 2022 onderzochten Tanja Koning en Annemarie van den Berg de vraag hoe ruimte in het onderwijs van Art&Design Arnhem gemaakt kan worden voor collectief maken. In deze podcast vertellen ze over wat ze geleerd hebben en waar zij kansen zien voor ArtEZ om collectiviteit aan te jagen. Daarnaast vertellen de leden van het studentencollectief WIJ² hoe zij in hun examenjaar bij DBKV als collectief zijn opgetrokken. Een muurschildering van 16 bij 6 meter, een wekelijkse ontdekkingstocht langs de Rijn, het formeren van een tijdelijk collectief, het herontdekken van een gebouw en het radicaal gelijkwaardig samenzijn als startpunt van kunstonderwijs: onder de noemer Collective Making vonden, ondersteund door de ArtEZ Kwaliteitsafspraken, tussen januari 2022 en januari 2023 vijf onderwijsprogramma's plaats bij  ArtEZ Art&Design in Arnhem. Samen met studenten, docenten en kunstenaarscollectieven werd er binnen deze onderwijsprogramma's ruimte gemaakt om collectief maken in de praktijk te brengen, te onderzoeken en te ontdekken. Als vervolg op dit onderzoek werd samen met online kunstmagazine Mister Motley en interviewer Luuk Heezen de podcast ‘Kunst is Collectief' opgenomen waarin 10 collectieven vertellen hoe hun samenwerking er van binnen en van buiten uitziet. Waarom werken ze samen? Noemen ze zichzelf wel een collectief? Hoe verhouden de afzonderlijke leden zich tot het geheel? Hoe neem je gezamenlijk beslissingen? Kun je eigenaarschap delen? Tanja Koning is alumnus van DBKV Arnhem. Ze werkt als freelance curator en onderzoeker in kunst, wetenschap en wetenschap en technologie. Annemarie van den Berg is alumnus van de KABK (GD) en Piet Zwart Instituut. Ze is onderdeel van Collectief Pink Pony Express en afstudeer/procesbegeleider aan St. Joost School of Art & Design. WIJ² bestaat uit Bert, Mika, Irene & Nino, alle vier studeerden zij afgelopen zomer (2023) individueel en als collectief af bij DBKV Arnhem. Als collectief onderzochten zij wat het betekent om -binnen de muren van ArtEZ- een collectief te formeren en samen werk te maken.

In the three-part podcast series Listening to the In-Between we highlight different aspects of Pauline Oliveros's Deep Listening® practice. We do so by providing backgrounds, practical listening exercises, and by exploring theoretical notions connected to Deep Listening.   In part I researcher and music journalist Joep Christenhusz explored Deep Listening, together with Ed McKeon and Ximena Alarcón, who are well-experienced deep listeners. Alarcón described the INTIMAL App© that she has developed over the last years.   In the second episode, Deep Listener Sharon Stewart invited us to participate in embodied rituals of attention, a practice of listening to or sensing aspects of power and powerlessness in the world that surrounds us. This reconnected her to the ground-breaking work of Audre Lorde, “Uses of the Erotic: The Erotic as Power”. In this third and final instalment, 'Thinking with our Ears', Joep Christenhusz returns to Ed McKeon and Ximena Alarcón, featuring Sharon Stewart as well. They consider Oliveros's Deep Listening practice from several theoretical perspectives, thereby taking into account that theory and practice are always closely intertwined in Oliveros's work.    Starting from the Extreme Slow Walk, an exercise in sonic awareness, they navigate a fluid in-between space, where conventional binaries like theory-practice, self-other, active-passive and subject-environment start to dissolve. This outward and inward journey results in embodied knowledge about, among other things, the nature of attention and concentration, our relation to our environment and our experience of self.   The second part of this episode consists of a conversation with Ximena Alarcón on the notions of the in-between, sonic migrations, and the migratory experience, and reflections on the role of language in the presence and experience of self.   Show Notes In the podcast you hear the following audio fragments: Pauline Oliveros, Stuart Dempster, Panaiotis, Album Deep Listening, track 1, ‘Lear', reproduced by permission of PoP and MoM Publications.

She herself was influenced by by an art project called Radikal Pedagogik by Lisa Nyberg and Johanna Gustafsson. Lorena learned about the proposals through this session at the EACWP: https://eacwp.org/activities/course-belgium-2019/.    Lorena teaches (and herself studied) at Escuela de Escritores: https://escueladeescritores.com/   Here are her class proposals:    • We are here because we want to write. • We are here to play, to experiment, to rave, to wish for the impossible. • We are also here to learn to read (us) in a critical way. We write as we read. • We have set aside this time, each week, for our writing and for sharing our writing with each other. • We are here because we have committed ourselves to be here. • We are here to be the best writer each of us can be. • We do not compete or compare ourselves with others. • We recognize that writing is a craft that requires time and dedication, and we are willing to make our best. • Writing every week and commenting on our classmates' texts is our way of giving. • Listening to our classmates with attention and gratitude is our way of receiving. • Giving and receiving require the same degree of courage, commitment and generosity. • We take this space seriously and we take each other seriously, but we also know how to laugh, joke, play, have fun: how to enjoy. • We are partners in the Dionysian faith. • We interpret what the other tells us with benevolence. • We are receptive and listen attentively. • We recognize that this workshop is a dialogue with the present (our own texts and our circumstances) and with eternity (the literary tradition). • We are personal and private when we need to be. • We are strong and vulnerable at the same time. • Everything that we share here and entrust to each other has a mystical character (ie, secret). • We all contribute to creating a space of mutual trust and solidarity. • We all have experiences that together we can transform into knowledge in the classroom. • There are no better or worse texts: there are texts more or less crafted. • The texts we write, every week, are not finished pieces. They are sketches, experiments, drafts: work in progress. • We are generous with each other. • We read in favor of our texts and not against them. • We write and read like miners, that is, in the direction of gold, of poetry: that is, in the direction of the sacred that is in the wound of each text. • In the texts we do not seek justice (we do not judge), we seek poetry (the infinite understanding). • We are free to write what we want to write and to be whoever we want to be (we do not mistake the author with the narrator). We are interested in everything that concerns the human condition without exception. • We dare to fail. • We dare to take position and we also dare to change our position. • We are not afraid to say what we think, but we say it with respect and with judgment. • We let conflicts have their space (we don't fear them), but we don't make them either bigger nor smaller. • We take responsibility for the power we have and help others to make visible their own power. • We encourage each other to think critically and reflect on our work and the work of others. • We recognize that being here is a privilege. • We are companions, we stand by each other and support each other. • We share together the bread (the sacrifice, the effort) and the wine (the joy) of each text. The workshop is our feast. • We trust processes, more than results. • We imitate and steal in order to learn. • We rehearse, we practice, we succeed, we fail, but we never stop trying again. • We rest when we need it. • We are here, present and ready. • We recognize that the ultimate sense of this space is our love for writing, for literature, for the artistic expression. • We know that the path of writing is long and deep, and we are happy for that. • We know that this journey can only be undertaken with patience, perseverance, with faith and with love. • We tell each other: “Take your time. Enjoy. We have a course ahead. We're on our way."      

In the three-part podcast series Listening to the In-Between we will put the rich practice of Deep Listening® into a broader context. In our second episode, Deep Listener Sharon Stewart invites us to participate in embodied rituals of attention, a practice of listening to or sensing aspects of power and powerlessness in the world that surrounds us. This reconnected her to the ground-breaking work of Audre Lorde, “Uses of the Erotic: The Erotic as Power”.   In 2021 we made the podcast-series Sounding Places / Listening Places, which is still available at Radio ArtEZ. In it we explored how sound and listening can contribute to realizing more sustainable and reciprocal relations with the earth. Back then, we already dipped our toes in the world of Deep Listening®. In the three-part podcast series Listening to the In-Between we will put this rich practice into a broader context.   In Part I, researcher and music journalist Joep Christenhusz explores Deep Listening, its connection to space and time, and the interrelations between the outer and the inner world the practice reveals through sonic awareness.   In this second episode, Deep Listener Sharon Stewart further connects the idea of an embodied practice with the theme of power and powerlessness by working with others through the creation of text scores, also conceptualized as rituals of attention, that offer a way of listening to or sensing aspects of power and powerlessness in an embodied way. After an open call, Laurens Krüger (student DBKV ArtEZ Zwolle) and Martine van Lubeek (graduate of BEAR ArtEZ Arnhem) participated in this process. Laurens presents her “Triangle Dance with force fields” and Martine her “Score for Thinking-Feeling with the Earth”, a score to bring us into relation with the more-than-human elements all around us.   In the final third of the podcast (from 32min on), Sharon Stewart talks about how Audre Lorde's work inspired her in creating a text score from the perspective of our theme: the Body and Power(lessness) and presents the score “Listening through connection and difference”.   In the third and last part of our podcast series we will dive deeper into theoretical concepts related to Deep Listening.   Show Notes In the podcast you hear the following audio fragments:   Pauline Oliveros, Stuart Dempster, Panaiotis, Album Deep Listening, track 1, ‘Lear', reproduced by permission of PoP and MoM Publications.

On the coldest day of 2021, musician and writer Samira Dainan went to Poppodium Duycker in Hoofddorp to meet with Ousmane Ag Mossa, the bandleader of Tamikrest. Named the new legend of Tuareg music, Ousmane speaks on what it means to write music in the solitude of the Sahara desert. In this podcast, he speaks on the power and the meaning of his music, and how each song breaths a whole life-world and history. Founded in 2006, in Kidal in Mali, Tamikrest call themselves ‘the children of Ibrahim', after Ibrahim Ag al Habib, the founder of the leading Tuareg band Tinariwen. In spite of ongoing riots and regional conflicts, which have a gripping force on their lives since the independence of Mali, Tamikrest seeks to make music reflecting their Tamasheq poetry and culture: “A desert hosts us, a language unites us, a culture binds us.” About Samira Dainan: After finishing her degree in Law, Samira's love for music evoked a long-term research into her Arabic, Berber and African heritage. This brought her to Morocco and the Sahara, where she played and collaborated with local musicians¬, ranging from Amazigh, Trans Sahara to North African folk. Because of its powerful sound, message and healing rhythm, countless alternative bands in Morocco and North Africa such as Tuareg bands Tinariwen and Bombino are emerging in the music scene. Yet, in the Netherlands this genre of music is still in the margins. In this talk, Samira will discuss why she wants to create a stage for North African music together with her collaborator and band-member Bas Gaakeer. Check out their music and upcoming shows: https://showcase.fm/Samirasblues The selection of music that was featured in this episode has been carefully curated by Samira Dainan.

Moral Shame Talks is a podcast series of three episodes that explores the complexities of consumers' moral shame in the context of the sustainability debate within the fashion industry. By tackling moral shame –a form of shame that consumers experience in their consumer behaviour while knowing they are not making sustainable choices – stories can be told about the complexity and systemics of the fashion industry and the sustainability debate in it. In the podcast series Lindy Boerman, finals student of the ArtEZ Master Fashion Strategy, collects different ideas, critical perspectives and personal thoughts. By including personal stories consumers have about moral shame and reflecting on this together with people from various professional background and with various perspectives she gives meaning to, and places moral shame in the contemporary context.   In this episode, Christine (Cimpian, MA Behavioural Science, RU) and Lindy discuss moral shame from a behavioural science point of view. They take a look at what is crucial to moral shame: a friction between the consumers' sustainability aspirations and ambitions and their actual behaviour. Christine and Lindy investigate what plays an important role in the consumer behaviour that leads to moral shame.   Sources Christine mentions Interested in temporal discounting in relation to sustainability?  Read (1) Green, L. & Myerson, J., 2004.

In contemporary Western culture we seem to have lost an intimate connection with the land. More often than not we consider our surroundings as a passive backdrop in which humankind can take center stage: controlling the landscape, developing infrastructures, and extracting resources at will. This rather anthropocentric position has become unviable, however, as recent human-driven ecological crises – like climate change, the dramatic loss of biodiversity and large-scale destruction of habitats – are clearly indicating. If we wish to develop a more sustainable future, we urgently need to reconnect to our environment and restore a more reciprocal relationship with the earth.  In the context of the project Land, studium generale commissioned the Radio ArtEZ series Sounding Places / Listening Places in which writer and music journalist Joep Christenhusz and creator of sound works, musician, writer, poet, and Deep Listener Sharon Stewart enquire how sound and listening can help us to do so.   In this third episode, Sharon Stewart converses with geographer and sound artist Ame Kanngieser, Melbourne, Australia, and vocalist, writer, composer and interdisciplinary artist, Lisa E. Harris from Houston, Texas about themes of land, ownership and sound. Do we have an intrinsic right to record our immediate soundscape? Who owns sound?   Shownotes: The interview with Ame Kanngieser took place on the stolen lands of the Wurundjeri and Bunurong people of the East Kulin Nations. We acknowledge the traditional owners of these lands and pay our respects to elders past and present and to Country itself. Sovereignty was never ceded, resistance is ongoing.   Reading and listening AM Kanngieser: Website: AM Kanngieser Soundwork: Eulogy for the Handfish, The Parallel Effect, 2020 Talk: Listening to Ecocide at Sonic Acts, 2020 Collaborative talk: Listening as Relation, an Invocation for CTM Festival: Discourse Series – Critical Modes of Listening, 2021, with Métis/otipemisiw anthropologist Zoe Todd, 2021  Article: “From environmental case study to environmental kin study” in History and Theory, 2020 Article: “A brief proposition toward a sonic geo-politics” in Journal of Sonic Studies, 2016 Article: “Geopolitics and the Anthropocene: Five propositions for sound” in Geohumanities, 2015 Article: “A sonic geography of the voice: Towards an affective politics” in Progress in Human Geography, 2011 Lisa E.

In contemporary Western culture we seem to have lost an intimate connection with the land. More often than not we consider our surroundings as a passive backdrop in which humankind can take center stage: controlling the landscape, developing infrastructures, and extracting resources at will. This rather anthropocentric position has become unviable, however, as recent human-driven ecological crises – like climate change, the dramatic loss of biodiversity and large-scale destruction of habitats – are clearly indicating. If we wish to develop a more sustainable future, we urgently need to reconnect to our environment and restore a more reciprocal relationship with the earth. In the context of the project Land, studium generale commissioned the Radio ArtEZ series Sounding Places / Listening Places in which writer and music journalist Joep Christenhusz and creator of sound works, musician, writer, poet, and Deep Listener Sharon Stewart enquire how sound and listening can help us to do so. In this second episode we focus on urban and domestic sounds with field recordist, musician and researcher Peter Cusack and sound artist Elise ‘t Hart.

In this episode of Radio ArtEZ, vocalist, movement artist and composer Elaine Mitchener offers background to her work and her ideas. She will focus on the unheard voices of statues, rooms, places. Who do monuments represent and who do they speak for? She will introduce some original voices in philosophy and music that deserve more attention and will guide us into ideas of philosophers Fred Moten and Walter Benjamin about resistance and memory. Central to her conversation will be Benjamin’s concept and practice of memory: Eingedenken, that takes remembrance as an act of responsibility. How do we choose to remember? History is written by the victors, said Benjamin, and the consequences resonate for ages.

Eventually I’d have to disappear Podcast on the traces we leave behind as artists, and how to work with them ethically, philosophically, artistically. The next four weeks we will be bringing you a new mini-series, by an ArtEZ Alumna. Starting from her thesis 'In search of a non coherent narrative. From an oppressive archive towards an anarchive open for all voices, all narratives, all perspectives' Dieuwke Slump created a podcast titled 'Eventually I'd have to disappear. Podcast on the traces we leave behind as artists and how to work with them ethically, philosophically, artistically'. In every chapter of this podcast, Dieuwke invites a guest to join her and talk about their archive, and how they work with or against it. Dieuwke sees the chapters as small works of art, which she completes with sounds and voice-overs. She believes that in this time, it is important to take a look at our history and at how we remember it: which stories are told and which are forgotten, because this shapes our present and our future. How can we as artists deal with that in creative and radical ways? What can we contribute to this conversation, by being aware of our own archive and by making artistic interventions to create more space for different voices, narratives, perspectives? Chapter one with Milo Rau Dieuwke talks to the controversial artist, activist and artistic director of NT Gent about the difference between art and activism; the never-ending project of deconstruction; and theatre plays as traces of a revolution. Also in this chapter: lessons in which 13-years-old learn how deep listening is a physical activity, and the amazing music of Warner Slump.

This six part miniseries is based on the conference The Roadmap to Equality In The Arts that took place 18 January 2020 and dealt with the undeniable under- and misrepresentation of women artists, Women of Colour, non-binary and genderqueer artists in the Dutch art world. With performances, keynotes, presentations and panels the conference attempted to establish stepping-stones on the path to gender equality in the arts by raising awareness, gathering data and mobilising existing networks and collective knowledge.   This sixth episode contains the closing panel of the conference on models of change. About what is really needed to bring about this much needed change and how we can be solidary catalysts. Special attention is paid to emotional labour and only fighting if you have enough agency. And about escaping the pornographic rhythm that neoliberalism forces us into. It features Nancy Jouwe, Delphine Bedel, Nagaré Willemsen, Yin Ying Wong and Katherine MacBride, Galit Eilat, Petra van Brabandt and members from the audience.   If you want to be involved in the workgroup, please contact: Catelijne de Muijnck (ArtEZ studium generale) c.demuijnck@artez.nl Dephine Bedel (Meta/Books) mailing@delphinebedel.com Els Cornelis evkcornelis@gmail.com https://studiumgenerale.artez.nl/nl/agenda/the+roadmap+to+equality+in+the+arts+in+the+netherlands/

Although female students dominate the art schools in the Netherlands it is startling to realize that the art-world continues to be male dominated. And even though art schools should offer safe and challenging spaces, sexist and racist mechanisms are still at play today. It features Petra Van Brabandt who offers a passionate and razor-sharp argument about the challenges that art education faces and the pitfalls it comes across.   For information on ENGAGEMENT, see: https://www.engagementarts.be/en For more information on the research: https://www.rektoverso.be/artikel/racism-and-sexism-in-art-education-a-subjective-mapping

It features Agnès Saal of the French Ministry of Culture on data monitoring and evaluation as the only way to influence policies, Galit Eilat on her pioneering research into the collection of the Van Abbemuseum and Pauline Salet on her research into the percentage of female artists in eight Dutch museums initiated by Mama Cash. It also touches upon the downsides of collecting quantitative data and the importance of qualitative research through collecting subjective stories.   Links:   The Equality Roadmap in Culture https://www.culture.gouv.fr/Sites-thematiques/Egalite-et-diversite/Les-engagements-du-Ministere/Feuille-de-route-Egalite-2019-2022).   Research Mama Cash: https://www.mamacash.org/media/documents/the_position_of_women_artists_in_four_art_disciplines_in_the_netherlands__mama_cash_2019.pdf).   References to literature can be found via the websites https://atria.nl/ and https://www.boekman.nl.   For the results of the ArtEZ BEAR survey, see: https://studiumgenerale.artez.nl/nl/studies/all/blog/survey+bear+alumni+2014+2018/   If you want to be involved in the workgroup, please contact: Catelijne de Muijnck (ArtEZ studium generale) c.demuijnck@artez.nl Dephine Bedel (Meta/Books) mailing@delphinebedel.com Els Cornelis evkcornelis@gmail.com

These are exactly the times to rethink education because what is happening right now is showing us that just staying with the normal won’t do! Together with the Art education as Critical Tactics team of ArtEZ we bring you: No School Station, a four part miniseries on education outside of the educational institutions. In this fourth and final episode we focus on learning, because learning in all its forms has been at the center of every episode of our No School Station and we also want to end with it.  We want to say goodbye to you by exploring different ideas and spaces for learning, sometimes unconventional and sometimes de-institutionalized, keeping always in mind the connection and the relation to the main actor within the learning process, aka the learner.  Now it's up to you to think along with us.

Together with the Art education as Critical Tactics team of ArtEZ we bring you: No School Station, a four part miniseries on education outside of the educational institutions. We have all lost our schools in this moment, our homes for learning. But No School pedagogy sometimes operates outside institutional frames, and sometimes outside buildings. No School can be home-based but it can also be nomadic. What does this mean for learning and creating in times of crisis?

How do we look to the future in these uncertain times? Can you tell us? We are looking for voices from the future.This project is a collaboration between Radio Artez and artist duo K&A. It started with an artistic project from K&A, called 8102. At the end of 2018, the artists got their hands on dozens of diaries. Diaries that are normally used to organise, capture and control the time, where about to be thrown away. K&A proposed a mirror, a window: 8102. How to imagine a world in more than 6000 years? They invited people from different fields, ages & cultures to fill these agendas during a year. And now, in collaboration with Radio ArtEZ, there’s the satellite program you can join from home: we’re asking everybody to send us voice messages from the year 8102: where will we be, and what will it look like? You can record yourself on your phone and send your message from the future to dennis@denieuwes.com. We will create a kaleidoscopic audio diary as a special episode of Radio ArtEZ.

In deze bonusaflevering presenteren we een monoloog uit De zaak Shell, van Rebekka de Wit en Anouk Nuyens. In deze monoloog wordt de rol van de consument in de klimaatafbraak onderzocht. Want zonder dat de consument het wellicht weet, speelt hij al sinds het begin van de rechtszaak een hoofdrol. Shell heeft namelijk al meerdere keren laten weten dat er een fout is gemaakt in deze rechtszaak. Niet zij zouden verantwoordelijk zijn voor klimaatverandering, maar wij: de consumenten.
