Infrastructural Rifts:
Souls and Soils of Disaster Developmentalism
During the symposium breaks you will be able to meet and greet with our brilliant 56 master students. Departing from many destinations worldwide they have come to Arnhem to take part in our temporary art commune & theory camp where they will team up, in one way or another, with members of staff, 'core' and 'visiting' tutors, alumni, coaches and associate researchers alike ~ this month, apart from Rachel O'Reilly and farid rakun, the names of
