Students Allege an Unsafe Environment as Free Speech Debate Roils Top Amsterdam Art School. Abigail R. Esman, February 8, 2018.


In the time that was originally planned to premiere Episode 12 (16:00, February 8) we (Kate Sinha, Stefan Ruitenbeek, Bert Kreuk) have a discussion at the Rietveld academy with the management (Ben Zegers, Annelies van Eenennaam) about why they canceled us. All the energy went to that, we didn't show the planned episode. We did that later in the evening in the space of Paul van Esch.
