|Subtitle=ARCHIVED An overview of all Social Practices teachers and staff
|Image=directory.jpeg
|Summary=Social Practices sees cultural production as a political act that can challenge and reshape dispositions of power. It explores forms of agent assembly, built on a deep attitude of care for the natural and social landscapes we inhabit. Committed to building bodies of knowledge in common, making public (publishing understood in its most expanded form) is conceived as inherent to socially engaged practice. 


Currently, Social Practices is comprised of 4 different research strands (as described below), translated into courses. These fields of inquiry change over time.


 + CULTURAL DIVERSITY explores notions of identity and how it can be embodied, influenced, sedimented, or experienced across cultural, economic, political, and social lines.

 + POWERPLAY focuses on understanding the norms that govern institutions, human behavior, and representations of power, searching for ways to subvert dominant (visual) narratives.

 + NEW EARTH questions sustainability paradigms like the circular economy and researches equitable design and art practices in the wake of climate change.

 + GHOST MINOR This course is under construction and peer review and coming soon. ----------------->>>>>> Working Title -------->>>>>> COLLECTIVE/ASSEMBLY experiments with un/learning how to work, study, make, share, circulate, and be, together. And nourishes new forms of physical/digital assembly that destabilize dominance. And reimagines habits of sharing/solidarity. And disrupts mechanisms that reproduce precarity/toxicity. And enacts experimental/ethical ways of making public. Slash, and, et cetera.

 Lecture: Tactics and Poetics of Invisibility https://vimeo.com/241503663
==== An artist, designer, and researcher ====

Since 2015, she has engaged in steganographic practices such as hiding techniques, evasion tactics, and covert communication as acts of protection, survival and resistance in the face of oppression and violence. This research is now published under the title A Cookbook of Invisible Writing through Onomatopee. Her most recent interest and practice circles around literal and metaphorical approaches of mending, design as remittance and self-fulfilling prophecy and how text and textile might be woven together to form embodied publishing. 

Wu has co-organised the annual zine festival Zine Camp in Rotterdam between 2014-2019. From 2013-2016, she co-ran Eyesberg, a graphic design studio motivated by conceptual and experimental approaches.

=== Gabriel Fontana ===
Practice, years 3–1 

 https://www.multi-form.org/  

==== A social designer ====

Gabriel Fontana is a  social designer who investigates systems of value, norms and knowledge production. By understanding the body as a learning tool, his design practice investigates how our bodies perform, internalise and reproduce social norms. He proposes ways that this can be unlearnt through new pedagogies, activities and actions to imagine and introduce new value systems. 

Sport and physical education have been his main field of research for the past three years. In this context, Gabriel develops alternative team sport games that position Physical Education as queer pedagogy. His work is applied both in daily social settings (e.g. primary schools, sport clubs) and academic contexts as well as in cultural institutions (e.g. BAK, basis voor actuele kunst, Utrecht; Jan van Eyck Academie, Maastricht). He graduated cum laude from the Design Academy Eindhoven (NL) with a master’s in Social Design and holds a bachelor’s degree from Saint-Etienne Higher School of Art and Design (FR). His work has been awarded by the multiple design prizes (Rotterdam New Talent Award 2018, Paris Design Forum 2018) and diverse design grants (Stimuleringsfonds, CityLab10 and CBK Rotterdam).

== New Earth ==
=== Gaspard Bos ===
Theory/Practice, years 4-1

 http://gaspardbos.com
==== A transition designer ====

Gaspard calls himself 'a relationship therapist for people and things' or 'a transition designer'. His self-appointed mission for sustainable design and entrepreneurial and empirical attitude have led him to see the  contradictions that the sustainability paradigm holds and subsequently to research the philosophical notions that underpin this modern human predicament. His parents being physicists sparked his fascination with technology which he explored at TU Delft to later recognize its implication in neo-liberal society. Of late this fascination has had him diving into the coding of machine learning algorithms while at the same time considering their ethical repercussions. While he chooses to work on self initiated projects/ventures, often in the field of circular economy that propose alternatives to traditional forms of business, these projects increasingly form the soil for a more contemplative practice; for example investigating the socio-cultural conditions of child-rearing in the west and questioning the nature-culture dichotomies that dominate the discourse around child-rearing and parenthood.

In New Earth, Gaspard teaches storytelling in which he uses theory of structural linguistics and material semiotic analysis to help the students come up with narratives for a new earth. When he's not teaching he works on Good Fashion Friend, a startup that helps people create secondhand and vintage wardrobes using online tools. To balance out all this serious stuff he also makes music, goes dancing, bouldering, meditates, does yoga, loves to play board/card games with friends and seeks out nature.

=== Isaac Monte ===
Theory/Practice, years 3-2-1


 http://isaacmonte.nl

==== A designer ====

Fascinated by societal sustainability I am interested in unusual, new materials and how I can manipulate those. By means of combining technology, art and science, I show how art can contribute to a strategy of sustainable development. Since graduating in 2013 I have focused on understanding, controlling and manipulating unusual materials. In projects such as Filter Factory (2013) and Leek Packaging (2017), I have explored the possibilities of using waste streams to create new opportunities. Since 2015 I have been combining waste streams such as overdue foods with new, promising technologies in synthetic biology. This resulted in projects like The Art of Deception and The Meat Project. Within my work I combine different media, using techniques and media tools either to experiment and document or to strengthen the message with video and visual images.

=== Tomi Hilsee === 
Theory, Year 2-1

====semi-amateur architect, builder, historian, and bike mechanic— and ''professional'' bike messenger====

 http://tomhilsee.com/ 

Tomi has worked in various capacities within architecture— from supervising construction administration for medium size commercial projects, to facilitating the collaborative design of community spaces, to engaging directly in design-builds and as a builder in new-builds and renovations.  Additionally they have worked as a historian, namely with the Chinatown Atlas, mapping the poltical-geographic history of Bostons’ Chinatown, and as an honors student within the Chair of Architectural History at TU Delft, tracing the built/social dimension of petrochemical relationships.  Tomi holds a BFA in architecture from the Massachusetts College of Art, while partly studying at the University of New Mexico and the American University of Beirut; in addition to a MSc in Architecture from TU Delft— graduating on threads of squatting, unfixed collectives, love-making and the questioning of presumed knowledge claims.  Tomi currently co-operates the well-established Doe-Het-Zelf Werkplaats in Rotterdam Noord, where they contribute mechanical, building and collective-attentive knowledges, skills and generosities.  ~ Tomi is proudly unserious and kept busy encountering friends late into the darkness and mud; something they would call a politics of endurance and engagement.  (Which they will tell you all about at somepoint, we are sure; convincing you of the importance of embracing our heteronomous/non-autonomous vulnerabilities, as the wounded, leaky and pourous historical creatures we are.) ~ If we had to summarize their design approach it would have to contain this ''unceasing'' urgency to ''cram'' as much ''love'' into a situation as ''possible''; which they somehow believe is at the core of all this talk of commoning. xP

=== Clara Balaguer ===

 https://walkerart.org/magazine/troll-palayan-clara-balaguer-on-design-decolonization-trolling-duterte

==== A cultural worker, grey literature publisher, and undisciplined researcher ====

From 2010 to 2018, she articulated cultural programming with rural, peri-urban, and diasporic communities from the Philippines through the Office of Culture and Design, a residency space and social practice platform. In 2015, she co-founded Hardworking Goodlooking, a cottage industry publishing hauz interested in the material vernacular, collectivizing authorship, and the value of the error. Currently, she coordinates the Social Practices department at Willem de Kooning Academy and teaches in the Experimental Publishing masters of Piet Zwart Institute. Frequently, she operates under collective or individual aliases that intimate her service in a given project, the latest of which is To Be Determined. For the moment, TBD is an undocumented organization that has recently migrated to Rotterdam from Parañaque City. Aside from its main mandate—to redistribute access to cultural capital in neighborly ways—it is curious about models of non-extractive research, the possibility of radmin (radical administration), the agency of the secretariat, and dissecting the body public/published body.
