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.
Thursday 18 April
20:00-22:00
@ San Serriffe, Sint Annenstraat 30
Readings and performances by Pelumi Adejumo, Rots Brouwer and Rick Geene from 20:30
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.
18:00-20:00 @ Rietveld Library

The Embodied Knowledge Bureau is a space for investigating, reclaiming, and engaging the body within artistic education. Our platform integrates movement and somatic workshops, discussions, lectures, deep listening events, and film screenings as ways of mending current disciplinary blind spots and barriers that often exist between academics, visual artists and movement practitioners.
aux) is an initiative that aims to collectively question vision-dependent frames of making and knowing. The platform offers a program that covers a spectrum of perspectives addressing sonic experiences and listening as forms of research and expression. aux) hosts events at the intersection of sound art, experimental music, and audio culture, supporting students to create and participate in concerts, listening sessions, workshops, and talks, among other activities.
Sonia Fernández Pan is a (in)dependent curator, writer, researcher, podcast-maker and one of the many anonymous bodies on the dance floor. Both her perception of dance culture and her way of dancing continue to shift constantly over the years. Her oscillating passion for techno is matched by many other musical genres, such as d'n'b, breakcore, dubstep or acid house, to name a few. She started her activity on the dance floor in 2003 at Barraca club (Valencia, ES) and continued dancing in many illegal free parties, many festivals and clubs like Octopus (Pontecesures, Spain), Razzmatazz and Apolo (Barcelona, Spain), Fabric (London, UK), Contact (Tokyo, Japan), Berghain, ://about blank, Tresor, OHM (Berlin, Germany) to mention those she still remembers. Her initial infatuation with dance culture was then followed by an attempt at a Ph.D. thesis, which she abandoned when feeling an ethical imbalance between her “intellectual self” and her “raver self”. Many years later, YOU GOT TO GET IN TO GET OUT would take place, a long-term co-curatorial research from and into techno for and with La Casa Encendida (Madrid). Between 2018 and 2022, this collective project included a radio podcast, a book of critical essays, an exhibition and a series of concerts to get to know (again) aesthetic, material and experiential crossovers between art and dance culture. From intimacy and words, she dances in the distance with Eva Rowson thanks to the different formats of the series "We don't stop, together", invited and hosted by Karmaklubb*. The last episode resulted in a podcast that features a spoken dance floor. She writes erratically for different media about dance culture and music. After 13 years in Barcelona, she moved to Berlin for musical reasons, among others.
Liane recently relocated to Amsterdam but was born in Jerusalem where she started playing as a resident DJ at the underground club Pergamon. Following this, she regularly played at clubs in Tel Aviv as well as several gigs in Europe.
She mixes deep, dark and industrial techno using crashed kicks and breaks that create a distorted fog of noisy textures in an experimental-like atmosphere. In her sets, she seeks to cultivate an emotional exploration on the edge of darkness which evolve in a rolling flow that shatters and reforms.
In her artistic practice she deals with coping through sound and club culture. She explores the power within vibration and its ability to affect the collective, the body, and the mind.
