EXTRA INTRA

Extra Intra is a website initiated by the Editorial Board Intercurricular Programs of the Gerrit Rietveld Academie.

Extra Intra provides an overview of present and previous intercurricular initiatives at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie.
Furthermore, Extra Intra, will function as an online stage for new intercurricular platforms.
Thirdly, Extra Intra is the website on which the editorial board will publish content.

Future Practices

Future Practices is the title of the multi-year framework within which the editorial board works in the coming years. With this framework the editorial board aims to stimulate interest in interdisciplinary and trans-departmental collaborations in connection with and in preparation for the professional practices in the future. It raises questions such as: where is the potential of the intercurricular programs in relation to future (art) education? What does studio practice and material research look like in the future and what role do the workshops play in this? How are students prepared for a field that is constantly evolving? How do they want to manifest themselves after their studies? Future practices concerns students and teachers from all departments.

11 topics

Within the framework of Future Practices, the editorial board has decided to focus on ten topics:Embodiment; Relationality; Future Pedagogy; Future Commons; Future of Materialisation; Future art and design economies; Ecology; Technology; Philosophy; Future Politics and Future Feminism.On this website the editorial board will publish content in relation to these ten topics, in collaboration with actors inside and outside the academy.

Connections

The aim of the intercurricular platforms is to add an enriching (extra) layer of content, without supplanting regular education. An intercurricular platform stimulates interdisciplinary and trans-departmental cooperation and/or establishes links with actors outside the academy, through projects in which cooperation, self-organisation, research and new ways of working are central.The editorial board aims to provoke new ways of collaboration, between students and teachers, departments, workshops and departments etc, manifested in the new intercurricular platforms as well as on this website.

Editorial Board

Members of the Editorial Board: Joram Kraaijeveld (chair), Elisabeth Klement, Rasha Dakkak, Ben Zegers, Jurgen Bey, Gleb Maiboroda, Nell Schwan, Luca Heydt, Tessa Verheul, Rosie Haward.

\n","interview":{"name":"Micaela Terk, Co-facilitator of the Embodied Knowledge Bureau with Extra Intra,","messages":["How would you describe your role within the institute?","MT: I am a second-year student at the Design Department, and a co-facilitator of the Embodied Knowledge Bureau.","Could you talk about the Embodied Knowledge Bureau, what prompted you to start it, and what was the process of starting this project within Extra Intra?","MT: When I applied to Sandberg, I was looking for ways to integrate my own experiences of chronic pain and somatic research into my design practice. I had spent the previous years in what I like to call a form of “chronic inquiry,” delving into somatic practices and movement research, as well as publishing and writing as a form of exchange and sharing. The decision to pose this research question within a Design master’s was quite peculiar, because much of my pain emerged during my bachelor’s degree in visual communication, and still very much revolves around the physical constraints of working as a designer. I couldn’t help but see what happens when I try to mesh the two experiences, which are usually painfully opposite. At the time I didn’t imagine anything like the Embodied Knowledge Bureau, but I was very much looking to reshape my own practice through embodied knowledge which I had developed over the years, and was even more eager to exchange with others. When I started studying, Extra Intra had just launched an open call for student-led platforms which look into specific topics, one of which was embodiment; this is where the Embodied Knowledge Bureau found its roots.","What excites you about being a part of the school?","MT: Sandberg has provided me with a very precious space for diving into my own practice, through opening it up and sharing (myself) with others. I cherish the deeply collaborative nature of the Design programme, and am particularly thankful for the space my work and interests have been given to reverberate and encounter others. The methods we learn and co-develop for exchange, the space for influencing and being influenced by others, and the possibilities for sharing vulnerabilities and frustrations, have been invaluable to me. It is such a pleasure to learn with and from a very unique group of people, who I very much trust and admire. ","How do you see it in relation to your activities outside the school?","MT: I’m used to being a person of many hats. Sandberg has miraculously helped me find harmony in such an experience, which can often be very chaotic (albeit enriching). The last year and a half have very much been focused on learning to trust myself in being drawn to a seemingly disconnected web of interests, curiosities, and passions. For me, the magic of such an experience happens where it meets life outside of the school, and the particular communities it weaves."]}}
