varia (Gouwstraat 3, Rotterdam) is a space for developing collective approaches to everyday technology. As varia members, we maintain and facilitate a collective infrastructure from which we generate questions, opinions, modifications, help and action. We work with free software, organise events and collaborate in different constellations. varia figures things out as they go, tries to keep notes, is multilingual and can be contacted at info[@]varia.zone.
The curriculum is an ongoing series of workshops in which participants are introduced to technical, theoretical and methodological skills at the basis of the various practices that live within varia.
These are short intensive master-classes or workshops aimed towards providing high level introductions. Each subject in the varia curriculum has its own rhythm and structure. The workshops come with extensive syllabi and documentation that can be used as a reference for further explorations.
All curriculum workshops are offered for a fee which in goes towards sustaining varia's public research practices.
