New Perspectives
New PerspectivesNew Perspective is an evening with Mitchell Esajas (The Black Archives), Yolande van der Heide (Casco Art Institute) and Sena Abraham (Rietveld student), dedicated to a selection of newly available titles in the Rietveld/Sandberg library, initiated by the usb_blackstudentunion.
Encouraged by Unsettling, the usb_blackstudentunion and student initiatives the library has been expanding its collection in order to broaden the positionalities and perspectives within its bookshelves. Inspired by student recommendations and different organisations such as the Black Archives an extensive literature list has been collected. These books are gradually being added to the library’s collection.
To open up a conversation about specific mechanisms of inclusion and exclusion, inherent in many academic institutions and western knowledge production, newly acquired books are being activated through talks and presentations.
