Yearbook 2021 – 2022

/in /door

Weer een jaar loopt ten einde, met de zomer — en de zomerse verwarming in volle gang, zijn de zorgen om eindexamens en herkansingen allang voorbij. Vakantiestemming is in, en reizen is op een all time high (zie maar Schiphol).

 

Als je echter zin hebt om na te denken en herinneringen op te halen, vind je hieronder ons Jaarboek voor dit jaar, gemaakt door onze lieftallige Redactiecommissie van 2021/2022.

 

We are happy to finally share with you The VSPA Yearbook of 2021/2022. The yearbook illustrates all the fun and exciting events we had this year, the great trips we went to and last but not least… you! Our lovely members and committee members, who made this year really unforgettable.

See you after the break! H.A.G.S <3

Speak Your Sh*t!

Hi everyone,
The Queer Committee is excited to put out tickets for their event, Speak Your Sh*t.

Everyone will also get a free beer! We really hope to see you there :)

Ticket Link: https://vspa.nl/product/how-not-to-get-fcked-in-porn/

Name: How not to get f*cked in porn
Location: REC C1.03
Date & Time: 20.06.2022 / 15:00-17:00

Izzy (the lecturer) has more than 10 years of experience in a company that produces ethical adult media. She started as a videographer and worked her way up to the managing director. Now, as an independent educator and speaker, she is using her experience to educate and raise awareness about ethics and intimacy. She created the RedCheeks podcast, where she talks with interesting people about intimacy and she just launched RedCheeks Academy with a workshop where she teaches people how to produce ethical adult media.
She doesn’t promote or advocate for porn. There’s a lot that can be said about the bad side of this industry, but thanks to her experience, she can provide a different perspective.

The topics that will be covered in the lecture:
– Her experience in the adult media industry
– Rising the standard of consent in pornographic production
– What is the ethical production of intimate scenes
– Missing “ingredient” in the porn industry
– What can we learn from the adult media industry and performers
– Porn literacy – how to understand the message porn conveys

Apocalypse as a Coping Mechanism

/in /door
How to deal with the end? It’s a truism that there’s just one thing in life that we’re sure of: death. Still, we prefer to indulge ourselves in feeling things will last forever. This becomes increasingly difficult in these times of (ecological) crisis. Fears about our own end mix with fears about the collapse of civilization – how long will we be able to hold on to the world as we know it? And should we? What is this attachment to a world that, our dreams of “sustainability” notwithstanding, just cannot last?
Date & Hour: 11th May, 16.00-17.30 o’clock
