Dear Rietveld and Sandberg students,
How can staying together be an artistic practice?
Coming from last year’s powerful learnings about Resting and Assembling as artistic and resistance practices, in this Spring Funding we want to continue to offer support to fellow students who want to put their creative energy into building connections with each other in spaces, circumstances, and times when being disconnected may seem, instead, the most accessible possibility.

We are trying to cultivate and foster our practice as artists and creators in this context, and we are wondering, how can artistic practices help us bond and build collective resilience to stay soft and connected while doing resistance work? How can artistic practices be themselves resistance work?
For this open call center and explore art and creativity as forces that can feed resilience and resistance, that can hold us in our deepest grief, that can direct us towards change in our burning anger. In this fragmented world we need artistic practices as dreamspaces, as opportunities for radical imagination, as sites and tools of liberation.
How can we rebel against our practice being a commodity and a pursuit for success?
How can we make art that is not extractivist but rather regenerative?
How can we build and defend common spaces and spaces for the commons in our practice?
How can we center the process of making, centering our bodies and creative power?
We have a budget of approximately €7500 to distribute to student-led projects. We are looking for projects that center art and creativity as student community binding practices. We want to highlight the privilege of having the time and resources to delve into artistic practices and we invite you all to use it to make some change. Make the best of your time in this academie, bond with others, connect, organize, weave, paint, plant, play music, build, move together, and find strength in creating new possible worlds. Be creative in finding ways to stay connected. We as Student Council will support your organizing labor and also want to offer the possibility of being guided by our guest Ying Que during your time developing the project.
In a space grounded on discourse and institutionalization of work we feel the need of reclaiming our artistic practices and connecting to each other and we are looking for proposals that:
Center artistic and making processes for their poetics and rebelliousness.
Focus on art as an embodied experience, a creative expression of emotions
Create channels towards collective nourishment and resilience,
Focus on creating joyful and emotional bonds between the Rietveld and Sandberg Community.
Last but not least, we encourage multidisciplinary and collaborative projects that benefit the community at school, as well as initiatives that put Queer and BIPOC students’ needs to the forefront in the academy.
