Urgent plea to Dutch higher education institutions: Cut ties with genocide and refuse police on campus! To the executive boards of all Dutch institutions of higher education, We, faculty, employees, researchers and alumni of various public universities, academies of applied sciences and research centres across the Netherlands, write this open letter to implore you a) to recognise the ongoing genocide on the Palestinian people and fulfil the ethical obligation ensuing from it to cease ties with all complicit institutions, projects and corporations; b) to commit to ending police violence on Dutch campuses.

If I Can't Dance I Don't Want to Be Part Of Your Revolution warmly invites all of us to the presentation of Toward a Transindividual Self: A Study in Social Dramaturgy, a book by Ana Vujanović and Bojana Cvejić. The authors will be joined by Sruti Bala, Marija Cetinić, and Antonella Fittipaldi, who will each offer reflections on different aspects of the book from the perspectives of their respective research and practices. The launch will take place at If I Can't Dance's space at WG Plein 881, Amsterdam, Monday, the 16th of June from 17–19:30hr (doors open at 16:30hr). The book examines the process of performing the self, introducing transindividuation as a new way to think about collectivity in 21st-century Western neoliberal societies. Taking a transdisciplinary approach—where political and cultural anthropology, performance studies, and dramaturgy intersect—the authors explore the transindividual formation of the self as a path toward a socially driven imagination, showing how ‘we form ourselves on the basis of interdependence, sharing, and commonality.’
Join Tale of Tub & the one and only Daniël van der Giessen, TODAY June 5, for the continuation of Duotones: A Series of Artists Talking—a new program of artist talks organised by A Tale of A Tub and Studio Art Office/CBK R’dam and hosted by TENT. The series is an attempt to put different generations of Rotterdam-based artists in conversation, and for talk number two we’ve invited Daniel Tuomey and Eveline Visser to draw on their shared connection to the role of narrative and the staging of stories within their practices, often done through painting, architecture and text. The talk will be moderated by Daniël (artist of DAI Generation 2022).
