All crises fall on us unequally. Each crisis heightens inequalities and differences. How do we make sense of crises, and who defines them? Such questions have prompted artists, designers, and theorists to grapple with complex issues through propositions, art works, manifestos, and experiments.
This week we are publishing a literary exploration on how we can be accountable for our actions in relation to climate breakdown.

New essay Trips Across the Abyss
|
|
|
In Trips Across the Abyss Harriet Bergman explores what it takes to “create new worlds, visions, ideas and horizons” based upon her personal account of climate activism, and reflect upon ways in which her accounts of climate breakdown are bound to her embodied experiences, livelihood, and climate racism.

OneWorld: Kevin Osepa, klimaatkolonialisme en een mooie aanbieding
|
|
|
Het tijdschrift OneWorld toont deze maand veel werk van Kevin Osepa, die eerder dit jaar te gast was bij een Kitchen Table Conversation in Zwolle. Kevin leverde voor OneWorld beeld bij een artikel over de situatie in Caribisch Nederland, tien jaar na de opheffing van de Nederlandse Antillen. Zie p. 10 t/m 21.
In dezelfde aflevering van OneWorld vind je een interessant artikel over het verband tussen corona en ontbossing. Het sluit goed aan bij de tekst van Bergman en haar pleidooi om verschil te maken tussen daders en slachtoffers van de klimaatcrisis en een begrip als ‘het Antropoceen’ kritisch te beschouwen. Zie p. 38 t/m 41.
Bekijk OneWorld april 2020 (pdf)
Vanwege onze gedeelde interesses was OneWorld zo vriendelijk de volledige april-editie van het tijdschrift gratis toegankelijk te maken voor onze lezers. Als je het interessant vindt: er is nu een tijdelijke actie: digitaal proefabonnement €3 per maand.

Podcast No School, Yes Learning
|
|
|
And then, the last episode of the podcast No School. A miniseries on Radio ArtEZ by studium generale and the Art education as Critical Tactics team of ArtEZ (AeCT). No School is a creative space in which students and teachers are part of a community of learners, working together in a constant process of co-creation.
This podcast is about learning. Even when we talk about new forms of education, outside the institutions and usual learning environments, we always have to look at the learner. How do learning and the learner relate to each other? What is the role of a creative learner in unconventional spaces?
With contributions by Nishant Shah (director of Research & Outreach and Professor of Aesthetics and Cultures of Technology at ArtEZ), the VONK collective (Vocational Creative School SintLucas) and Cassandra Onck & Fabiola Camuti (AeCT).
Find the podcast in your app or on our website.
This contribution is part of our Future Art School studies, in which we gather knowledge and ideas on this subject. Do you want to contribute to this? Get in touch with us.
