OCEANIC IMAGINARIES, HOW CAN WE LIQUEFY OUR WAYS OF BEING? HOW CAN WE THINK FROM AND WITH THE OCEAN?
23, 24, 25, 26 March 2022
Rietveld Uncut is an annual exhibition and performance programme of the Gerrit Rietveld Academie. Its collaboration with Studium Generale Rietveld Academie builds up to a simultaneous conference-week and exhibition in which ‘the making and the thinking’ come together.
This year urgent questions about our oceans take centre stage. The oceans are conceived as entities that feel, remember and connect. In an ecological sense, they are critical zones that demand a shift in our thinking and actions. They are places that harbour suppressed stories of transatlantic trade in enslaved people and boat refugees on the Mediterranean. But the oceans can also be experienced as spaces of transformation and liberation in which new identities and relationships emerge. Students and departments have developed projects in relation to this theoretical framework.
