unsettling
In these unsettling times, many of us have been forced to be alone but figure out new ways of being together. There is a lot that is uncertain as we struggle with financial, educational and work precarity. We acknowledge that it is impossible to switch to the digital version of an old norm, and better to shift into deep acceptance of a new one. For unsettling, this new norm is rooted in care, community, solidarity and support, and we have come up with a group of initiatives to respond to the needs of our students and institution at this time.
station hours: on Thursdays from 10-15h on Zoom. Join us for individual or group chats to discuss how you are doing and what concerns you are dealing with at this time. If you would like to join, please send an email for the Zoom video link.
reading group: Thursdays from 15-17h on Zoom. We are inviting an amazing group of artists, activists and creatives to host sessions focusing on different topics that are suited for the times we are in. These include Olave Basabose, Ayesha Ghanchi-Goemans, Camille Barton, Read-In Collective, Ying Que and Maja Faber. They will be speaking on topics as varied as 'Learning and solidarity through this crisis' to 'How to use astrology and tarot to help us in this time'. More details for the program coming soon!
unsettling support: unsettling@rietveldacademie.nl We collaborate with the Student Circle, Student Unions and Student Council to work as a coordinated support and care team in order to provide some structure and prevent repetition of initiatives. Students can reach out to for different issues relating to financial support, questions about housing, accessing groceries and other supplies and general needs.
