Lecture & workshop series by the 2021/2022 Research Fellows

The research fellowship project is an initiative for artists, designers, theorists and other makers. It aims to facilitate and support short term artistic research projects, in collaboration with one of the departments of the schools. During the fellowship, the invited researchers share their process and findings with students and the Gerrit Rietveld community at large. The Fellows in Process series in particular aims to aid this interaction, while engendering meaningful conversations between the fellows, students and teachers of both institutes.
