Patricia de Vries
Patricia de Vries (she/her) leads the interdisciplinary research group Art and Spatial Praxis at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam. This group explores how artistic and social practices can analyse, claim, and shape urban spaces, land, and territories. Drawing from feminist geography, Black studies, environmental humanities, and critical theory, the research examines the dynamics of power that determine who holds authority over spatial development and land use. One of the group’s initiatives, the open artistic research platform Plot(ting), investigates alternative forms of knowledge production, existence, and social relations. Previously, de Vries was an assistant professor of philosophy at Maastricht University.
