With Thao Phan, Ranjodh Singh Dhaliwal, Qingy Ren, Jisoo Lim and Johannes Bruder

Too shy to reuse a work – worried it’s cultural appropriation? The latest issue of PARSE Journal, edited by Femke Snelting and Eva Weinmayr, dives into the messy, powerful terrain of collective artistic practice.

Universities have become increasingly dependent on a proliferation of outsourced services, database providers and information management systems. This special issue aims to take stock of the challenges and possibilities here for University as Infrastructure.

Come work with us and join the team of the MA Transversal Design.
We are looking for an enthusiastic self-starter who thrives in diverse, transdisciplinary settings, and has a passion for designing-otherwise across programme, community and curriculum in collaboration with creative and critical practitioners.
You will be joining an eclectic and dedicated team who are building the new MA Transversal Design — a research-oriented master’s programme which explores social, ecological, political, and creative processes in their complex interdependencies.

The MA Transversal Design launched a new online zine that will continue to evolve into a living web journal to document and reflect on the activities and practices of the study programme.
