naira nigrelli is a cultural worker and student representative at sandberg instituut. as an organisational designer, naira co-investigates the means by which accessibility is made possible and the effects on existing systems on visualising new distribution models.
if you don’t want to engage in politics, that’s your choice — we’re lucky enough in the western world that we have that option — but you must recognise that political engagement rests as a privilege. it means you have the choice to deny access to information, to a certain education. in the project “self-governing the art academy” naira is interested to reveal legitimisation and increase accessibility, by building open-sourced, archiving tools, specific to the decisional infrastructures of educational cultural institutions. this is a case study and proposition of a cultural ogranisational practice.
naira is driven by the question: how well are members of institutions are included, under the present conditions of inaccessible, informal, cultural lineage? how are the changing (political) narratives within and beyond them relayed to the present and future generations, and how does this inability affect our creative perception of life?
