BULLETIN 7
But not many people know the river of my village. And where it comes from. And where it's going. And so, because it belongs to less people, The river of my village is freer and greater
(From: The Keeper of Sheep by Alberto Caeiro / Fernando Pessoa)
Dear all,
The DAI spaceship is about to briefly return to its haven in precious Arnhem, the Netherlands. But before we inform you about our plans for the upcoming DAI Week days along the Lower Rhine, we are very proud to share with you that, our comrade and partner (respectively as director of Casco in Utrecht and after 2008 as director of The Showroom in London) as well as returning member of our tutorial team since 2008; the brilliant, radically generous

We nevertheless warmly invite you to join us on Sunday, 18 March at Theater aan de Rijn, for yet another public moment. We will host the 20th edition of our Roaming Assembly, this time curated by Ruth Noack, another venerated member of the DAI's tutorial team. Our assembly will stand out, because of it's intimate scale and convivial atmosphere as well as curator Ruth Noack's sharp and original selection of guests, who, together with some of our students will take the stage. So please be welcome to join us in Arnhem for
