Being Together: A Manual For Living

Grace Ndiritu delves into radical approaches to education, drawing from her self-directed research in alternative, nomadic, and spiritual communities. Her experiences—from Buddhist monasteries to permaculture communities—profoundly shaped her understanding of embodied learning and its relevance in times of social upheaval. Being Together: A Manual for Living reflects on these themes, weaving voices from her social practices to explore collective action and shared destiny within the context of contemporary art education. This second edition, enriched with new essays, deepens the dialogue around these ideas. Published alongside her solo exhibition The Compassionate Rebels, Tools for Everyday Living Part 1 at Page Not Found in The Hague, the book extends the exhibition’s exploration of transformative educational practices and communal living.

Women Looking at Women Looking at Women

The booklet ‘Women Looking at Women’ by Annemarie Wadlow examines the ways women artists come together to collectively investigate their own image. It delves into various histories of feminist collective art practice and focuses on how women claim agency of their image through collaborations which connect intergenerational and long-distance friendships. Wadlow examines four visual case studies: ‘L’atelier des femmes peintres’ (1833) by Phillippe-Jacques van Bree, ‘Photographers at the Ovular’ (1980) by Joan E. Biren, Carmen Winant’s photobook ‘Notes on Fundamental Joy’ (2019), and the poetic essay ‘Women as Columns of Pillars’ (2019) by Josephine Mead. 

“Women Looking at Women Looking at Women” received the 2022 Best Dutch Design Book award (De Best Verzorgde Boeken 2022), and was shortlisted for the Most Beautiful Book in the World award from Stiftung Buchkunst. With this accolade, the publication was selected to be exhibited at the Stedelijk Museum (Amsterdam).
