Seasonal Matters Rural Relations - (Field)notes on rhythms, rituals and cohabitation by Seasonal Neighbours
Seasonal Matters Rural Relations is a book that reconsiders contemporary rural challenges through relationships rather than oppositions. Based on seasonal work experiences, it delves into the realm of contemporary agriculture and European labour migration, exploring the socio-political implications on rhythms, rituals, and cohabitation in Europe's countryside.
The collective Seasonal Neighbours will casually flip though the book together with the audience while reading from the stills on an unfinished film and other contributions, and reflecting on the ethical and political questions raised by the members during their process.
Superstorm - Design and Politics in the Age of Information by Noemi Biasetton
The Superstorm is a conceptual and narrative metaphor to illustrate the evolution of the relationship between political communication and new media technologies, which culminated in the tempestuous Western political visual culture of today. Within this vortex, complex and unexpected events occur, where politics is mixed with entertainment and communication is hyper-mediated through algorithms, memes and alternative realities.
In this presentation, Noemi Biasetton will trace the development of the Superstorm from the 1960s to the present through relevant case studies, and propose new coordinates that designers may consider in order to, eventually, face its relentless evolution.

Book launch Of Dogs and Daughters at San Serriffe, Amsterdam
We are delighted to invite you to our “Of Dogs and Daughters” book launch event, taking place on Thursday 13th June at 20:00 at San Serriffe bookstore (Sint Annenstraat 30, Amsterdam). The launch will include a reading and talk by author Simona Koutná and editor and contributor Susan van Veen.
Program:
20:00 doors open
20:30–21:15 reading by Simona Koutná and Susan van Veen
21:15–22:00 drinks
“Of Dogs and Daughters” brings a compelling record of female artists and writers, whose voices have been documented and collected through friendships and chance encounters. While navigating mechanisms of nostalgia aimed at caregivers and children, this book explores images of closeness and attempts to redefine the mother-daughter relationship through a surrogate lens.
“Of Dogs and Daughters” starts at a 1950s film studio in Prague, travels through Dodie Smith's 1956 human-animal inversion, skips about Rome, stays a few nights in Burzanella, Bologna, then tries to follow the dots into the Walt Disney Company, where she is sold for her fur. In the 1990s, her litter now running in the thousands, the spots innumerable, she decides to go and look for her mother.
We look very much forward to seeing you there!

Launch VISIONS BY #5 in Madrid and Barcelona
OUT NOW: VISIONS BY #5
Join us for the magazine launch in Madrid and Barcelona.
We design for life, death and posterity, all together - while understanding who and/or what is permissible to kill or let die. We try to understand why water is a false dragon and how it gives and takes life. We are encouraged to do some push-ups. We rearrange things made of more things, we steal them and we question their economic value, trying to make sense of it in the process. We dance Kumbia and listen to the earth with the people who work under and on it.
