An Embodied Soundtrack of the City
Rosi Braidotti, Shay Kreuger and Wietske Nutma explore feelings of embodiment – from sexuality and empowerment to body positivity and desire – through a playlist of songs dedicated to our bodies and ourselves. With special guest: Aruna Vermeulen (co-founder and general director of Hiphophuis).
13 October 2023 17:30 - 19:00
“Almost every song celebrates bodies, bodily experiences and encounters – whether real, imagined, remembered or metaphorical. Whether it’s the eyes, the lips, the ears, the chin or the ankles, the smell or the shape, a wealth of emotions is expressed when singing about bodies.”

The New Academy
This event with Shay Kreuger and Rosi Braidotti is part of the programming of The New Academy.
Rotterdam can be regarded as an archive of knowledge, of which only a fraction is made visible and utilized. There is, however, much more knowledge at hands that can contribute to a city that is better functioning for, and is more closely connected to, all its inhabitants. The New Academy is an initiative of the Nieuwe Instituut in collaboration with Rosi Braidotti which aims to make urban transformation an inclusive process that does justice to a multifaceted city like Rotterdam.
