Gabrielle Kennedy, an Amsterdam-based design journalist. She is currently editor-in-chief of DAMN° Magazine and has contributed to many publications on design, and education.
Research Café is an informal seminar series where you can learn more about various research methodologies from different senior researchers at Rietveld and Sandberg. We start the series on November 16th with Gabrielle Kennedy. She will talk about 'Interviewing for facts - Journalism as a research tool and language'. The essential skill of journalism is knowing how to conduct compelling interviews, and how to engage with subjects. Every strong journalist brings a unique sensitivity to an interview which is ultimately what will create an original tone of voice and lend work a unique atmosphere.
'In Search of Money', held on 29 March 2023, was about how art and design within capitalism are driven by money. We considered if culture, like people, is inevitably cast in a role of extremes - money-making machine or oppressed victim. The symposium was hosted by journalist and researcher Gabrielle Kennedy and the speakers were: Charlotte Rohde, Gijs de Boer, Ruben Pater and Cesar Majorana.
You are cordially invited to the conference 'In Search of Money' on March 29, 17:00-19:00 hrs at the Rietveld Academie.

Publication IN/Search RE/Search, edited by Gabrielle Kennedy, designed by Haller Brunm and published by Valiz with Gerrit Rietveld Academie / Sandberg Instituut, Amsterdam, features works by various Sandberg & Rietveld alumni and students. The publication explores how solid research skills are crucial for artists and designers if the cultural sector is to be able to contribute viable alternative ways of thinking to counter the dangerous and pervasive neoliberal forces influencing the globe.
Please join us for the online launch of the new IN/Search RE/Search publication with a live stream panel that will discuss how collaboration between the professions of art, design, journalism and academia can steer research.
