"The role of the artist is to make the revolution irresistible.”

Toni Cade Bambara


In September 2021, I joined the newly launched Ecologies of Transformation 2021–2023 temporary master's program at the Sandberg Institute, curated and led by Camille Barton. Over the course of two years, I will be working closely with a small group of artists to explore how art and embodied practices can act as agents of social change, within a community rooted in care and pleasure.


Together with Rietveld alumni Danielle Alhassid, Nadja Schlenker, and Irene Ha, Mayıs Rukel took part in monthly conversations with Edo Dijksterhuis over the course of six months following their graduation in August 2020. The result is an article in Het Parool, offering insight into how four newly graduated artists -each with distinct practices-navigated the specific conditions of the pandemic. The piece is accompanied by webcam portraits by Jitske Schols.
