Visiting Maastricht: ‘Revisiting subalternity’
Last week I attended the symposium Relocating Subalternity organized by Sara de Jong and Jamila Mascat in Maastricht. Once I arrived the city on the morning of April 6 Friday, I was impressed with the petit French cafes around, a different accent than the one I am used to hear in Amsterdam and German or Belgian style streets on my way to the symposium room. The Jan Van Eyck Academie is a small building with big projects. It is a post-academic art institute providing facilities and offering opportunities to artists, designers or theorists to develop their abilities.
