23.01-27.01 - 4th year students followed ‘How to Graduate in 4 days’ Workshop led by Willem Popelier & Alex Avgud. During the week our soonto-be-graduates could test their ideas and experiment a lot with radically new interpretations of their projects. The week finished with a pop-up exhibition that gave a good impression of the creativity we’re expecting to see at the Graduation Festival!

The Fool collective exhibition “As above, so below” From 19.01.-23.01. the 3rd year students organized an exhibition which took place at The Greyspace. The 40 photography students displayed their work. The five days were filled with cultural activities: lectures, performances, student screenings, sound performance and a party with a DJ set. After this great and joyful task was finally done, and after a little bit of a rest, the students started their internships or went abroad for an exchange.

The launch of the great publication created by the 2nd year full time and part time students will take place.
