We are back in Arnhem 

That is to say: for generation 22 this is their first DAI week landing in the city that has a firm grip on DAI's past, present and future (although our future landings in Arhem come with a concern, to be only briefly touched upon here). Our "parent" universities headquarters are in Arnhem. Our longstanding partnership, conversation & friendship with WALTERbooks is the backbone of our relation with the city as landing station for our soft space ship, eversince we became a Roaming Academy in 2017. Last but not least; our research interests around and in close friendship and collaboration with Sonsbeek artistic /curatorial teams ruangrupa (2016) and sonsbeek20-24, gave meaning, purpose and edge to our connectivity with this specific city, its geo-cultural position in the Netherlands and its historical and contemporary entanglement with wider worlds. Sonsbeek20-24 has prematurely ended (read more here) and DAI stands in full solidarity with Bonaventure Soh Bejeng Ndikung, Aude Mgba, Zippora Elders, Amal Alhaag and Krista Jantowski and program leader Raj Sandhu: it is out of the question that there will be any continuation of DAI's relationship with the Sonsbeek project under its current management and governance structure, where there is no commitment to the duty of care that comes with inviting and hosting an artistic /curatorial team. Sadness and anger about this situation aside: for this DAI Week we look forward to be hosted for all our lunches and cozy dinners by our beloved WALTERbooks and the one and only Krista Jantowski ~ as well as to be accomodated by other cultural spaces in town (Theater aan de Rijn, De Lommerd, Post Theater, Coehoorn) who are offering us their spaces to gather and study.
