After Summer School 2024

Join the After Summer School 2024!

During the After Summer School (30/09 – 4/10 2024) over 20 public classes will take place throughout the Rotterdam, presenting the city as a hub for knowledge that deserves to be recognized and included in the city development. How can we change the city by looking, listening, writing, archiving, collaborating, activating, researching, designing, and walking differently?

 

During the After Summer School, the New Academy works with Afrikaanderwijk Coöperatie, Changerism, Concrete Blossom, Huis van de Toekomst / Transition-Scapes, Independent School for the City, Internationale Architectuur Biënnale Rotterdam, Niels Spaans, Nieuwe Instituut, OMI | Stories about Architecture, Santiago del Hierro, Shay Kreuger, Stadspark West, Stichting Wijkcollectie, Stine Jensen / EsPhil, Ursula Biemann, Varia, Verhalenhuis Belvédère, Vers Beton, WaterSchool / Stichting het Park, and Zoöp.

The New Academy is an initiative of the Nieuwe Instituut in collaboration with philosopher Rosi Braidotti that reimagines Rotterdam as a knowledge city. It aims to create a local platform for new ways of learning to address complex social and ecological challenges together. It is centered around knowledge that is city-based, minoritarian, more-than-human, and embodied.
