KABK Student Union
The KABK Student Union sees academy-wide politics as a practice for life and is asking the question "Can The Royal Academy of the Art, The Hague, become a radically inclusive structure?"
Studying and being aware of one's academic context as well as the broader social and political context are not things that should be thought of as separate. The position of the KABK Student Union is also one in which students can witness their voices and opinions amplified and can feel the power and their agency within the wider context of their educational community. This is done with care and respect towards differences and in the spirit of reaching an agreement.
The drive for the founding of the Union comes from an urge to organize a social support structure for students within the community of the KABK. This support can manifest itself in a variety of forms, but it starts first and foremost from a drive to politicize our education and link it to similar attempts at student politics that are happening outside our academy. From a drive to build a community that is not just dealing with symptoms of problematic structures, but actively engaging in demanding what we think of a better world in our artistic practice.
