This semester first year fashion and graphic design students of the Gerrit Rietveld Academie have explored political garments. What are political garments? What is ‘political’ and how do garments, our bodies and the fashion industry relate to this. As a result, 13 magazines have been developed that explore these topics through writing and image research. All magazines will be available for purchase at the event.

Practitioner, educator, DJ, and researcher, Femke Dekker (also known as Loma Doom) has long been immersed in both sound and education. Across lecture halls, archives, festivals, art galleries, independent radio stations, and dance floors, she orbits a central question: What if listening itself were an artistic practice? What might unfold when listening becomes method, medium, and material?
Open Field Listening takes shape around these ideas. Presented as a collaboration between Page Not Found—an artist-run platform dedicated to publishing and experimental practices—and the record label Osàre! Editions, the text originates from Dekker’s graduation thesis for the Master Education in Arts at the Piet Zwart Institute, Rotterdam. There, she honed her skills as a pedagogue, inviting students into jam sessions, radio-making, and exercises that activate new modes of attention and a heightened sense of sonic curiosity.
Drawing on the work of scholars and artists—most notably Pauline Oliveros—Dekker approaches listening as a call to action: a way of tuning into one’s surroundings, one’s body, and the urgencies that contour our political and social worlds. She emphasizes the radical potential of reorienting knowledge toward collective attunement: the we rather than the I (or the eye). Inspired by Oliveros’s concept of Deep Listening—a way of expanding awareness through focused, embodied perception—Dekker acknowledges the composer as a foundational feminist figure whose insights continue to reverberate through the classroom, the studio, and beyond.

What can I get for you?
Aiming to re-imagine the stereotypes associated with the artist as hospitality worker, The Hospitality Playbook ‘serves’ to interrogate the precarity of work in the arts and cultural industries in The Netherlands. The publication gathers contributions from artists and cultural workers currently employed in the hospitality sector, who share stories of, or inspired by, their work experiences. The Hospitality Playbook seeks to navigate the intersection between labour, personal value, cultural work, and the concept of ‘hospitality’, making visible the value of service workers in Dutch society.
