Safety Situations

Bonjour, mes cheris!

 

Welcome to my blog! If you aren’t already familiar with me, my name is Paikea and I am currently in Paris!

 

Le sujet du jour is SAFETY!

 

Avant tout, I want to clarify that everyone’s experiences are going to look and feel different depending on your personal circumstances. Depending on where you live, the severity of your emergency, etc. things are going to look different.

Artist and Educator

Cathleen Owens is an artist and educator predominantly working with text, video, and performance on the internet. Her work often makes use of self-portraiture and performance to blur the line between the personal and the unfamiliar. Through various media, Owens' practice explores how much "personal" is required to achieve universality and how little personal is required to cross over towards confrontational. She holds a master's degree from the ArtScience Interfaculty of the Royal Academy of Art, The Hague and the Royal Conservatoire, The Hague, NL, and a BFA in Photography and the Digital Image from the Fashion Institute of Technology, New York, USA. In 2015, she founded the artist initiative facetime den haag with artists Wessel Baarda, Afra Eisma, and Marnix van Uum.

Cathleen is also a faculty member at IES Abroad Amsterdam, where she teaches the course "Experimental Media and the Internet in Contemporary Art." In this course, she guides students through an exploration of the evolving role of digital media in contemporary art practices, emphasizing experimentation and critical engagement with online platforms. Through hands-on projects and discussions, students investigate the intersection of technology, culture, and artistic expression, gaining insight into new approaches to art-making in the digital age.

Balancing a Budget While Abroad

A common thread among many study abroad students, including all of my roommates, friends, and myself, is wondering how to manage your money while traveling, experiencing new things, and living in a new place. Many times this semester, we have bravely logged into our bank accounts and been shocked by how fast it disappears! I have some experiences to share, as well as some advice for anyone who's thinking about how to stretch their summer savings over four months somewhere new. 

IES Abroad (at the UGR)

One of the cool things about the IES Abroad Granada program is that, in addition to IES-taught courses, you have the opportunity to take classes at the University of Granada. During the class registration period, we received a brochure with a list of UGR classes recommended by IES Abroad staff and previous students. While you generally aren’t limited to the classes in the brochure, the upside of the recommended classes is that the professors who teach them are willing to have IES Abroad students in their class.
