Extra Intra is a website initiated by the Editorial Board of Intercurricular Programmes at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie & Sandberg Instituut.
- Extra Intra provides an overview of present and previous intercurricular initiatives at the GRA & SI.
- Extra Intra functions as an online space for the previous and current intercurricular, student-led platforms to share their research.
- Extra Intra is where the editorial board publishes the content and outcomes of its projects, such as its readers and its essay series.
Some questions the Editorial Board asks are: How can we encourage and support discourse and practices that depart from and disrupt the institutional norm? How can we further develop and support student-led pedagogy, providing a space for topics that are not addressed by the main departments? What does the future of art and design education look like?
The Editorial Board’s focus on projects and research outside of existing departments serves to highlight and support interdisciplinary thinking and making that has the flexibility to respond to current urgencies felt by students and the wider community. These urgencies may be material, political, theoretical or otherwise, and give students the opportunity to play an active role in shaping their education, learn valuable skills such as writing applications, organising events, and working with peers in the professional field. A key intention of the board is to facilitate communal and sustainable working structures, and help students to further their interest and experience in experimental pedagogy.
The Editorial Board of Intercurricular Programmes was established in 2019 as one of the 9 Quality Agreements, and is being funded until the end of 2024 to develop small-scale intercurricular education within the academy. Since 2019 the editorial board has supported 13 student-run intercurricular platforms, been developing an active website promoting and archiving all intercurricular events happening in and around the academy, published 2 readers, and continues to commission an essay series on the future of art and design education, and organise various events and symposia.
The Editorial Board of Intercurricular Programmes at the Rietveld Academie and Sandberg Instituut invites you to presentations by four research platforms stimulating interdisciplinary and trans-departmental cooperation and establishing links with actors outside the academy, through projects in which self-organisation, research and new ways of working are central.
The editorial board invites you to propose one of two educational platforms to start in September 2023.
The editorial board is excited to invite you to the launch of Extra Intra reader #2: A Slight Breath, a collection of new and existing texts on the body in knowledge production and sensory forms of study.
The editorial board is looking for 3 new memebers.
During this special evening the Embodied Knowledge Bureau and aux), two student-led educational platforms operating at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie and Sandberg Instituut, will come together to share their practices. They will look back on their year of work researching, thinking and making around sound and the body in art and design education.
This event invites you to experience their space of exploration first hand: presentations by both platforms will be followed by performances and techno-meditation sets by guest artists, which will then dissolve into an open party.

Platforms supported by Editorial Board this year - Crip the Curriculum, Motormond, Bread Oven and Material Monopolies - invite the audience to get closer to their research inquiries in the afternoon of workshops and lectures exploring experimental forms of pedagogy and challenging the limits of existing educational structures.
The event will be hosted by Alec Mateo.
12.00
Crip the Curriculum
is a platform dedicated to dismantling ableist structures by re-thinking methods of creating, communicating, and caring.
In a workshop “Experimentation in the Age of Bio-Hacking: Navigating Ethical Boundaries” participants will have an opportunity to explore the complex questions surrounding bio-hacking and its role in shaping a Crip future. With the guidance of Dariia Dantseva, attendees will have a hands-on experience while we engage in questions of ethical boundaries of self-experimentation and the possibilities of bio-hacking.
13.00
Material Monopolies
is a forum for thinking through material/ity/ism via the aesthetic categories of excess & minimalism.
In "Material Monopolies: Theory and Practice" Rick, Weronika & Monique will reflect on the theoretical investments of their program, which orbited psychoanalysis, Kathy Acker, affect theory, aesthetics, critiques of capitalism and fashion. Each will read personal work produced in dialogue with the programming.
14.00
Motormond
is the gallery in subversion, a project that developed as a reaction to the consequences of the BLM movement for BIPOC artists on the Amsterdam cultural scene.
In their lecture, Motormond will share findings of their year programme accompanied by videos, fragments of essays and sonic interventions.
15.00
Bread Oven
organizes community gatherings around a bread oven where people can bring their own dough and learn how to bake it and share meals together.
In their workshop, Bread Oven will preserve and distribute the sourdough starter by spreading it out over a big tablecloth collectively. At the end of the event, everyone is welcome to cut a piece from the fabric to bring home.
Presentations will be followed by drinks and casual conversation. The audience will have the possibility to acquire recently published Extra-Intra Reader #2.
