’Teachers, Parents, Friends, and Fellow Members of the Gerrit Rietveld Academie’ is an extended contemplation on public speeches, stretching the format of the graduation speech.
Classified by order of appearance, this publication traces every person, place, and entity (seasons, movies, etc) encountered since arriving in Amsterdam in August 2016, up until graduation ceremony in June 2019.
With radical honesty, it examinates how these encounters—whether or not they ended in a positive outcome—had an effect on the person I was when graduating.
