Cranberryjuice is an action based artist collective aimed at raising awareness about underrepresented subjects connected to care practices and sexual health.
‘By merging artists and researchers with multiple experiences, bodies, struggles and approaches, we strive to create an intersectional platform where the gap between art and activism, the personal and collective and the public and private is blurred.’
On the 4th of December we are joined by Pernilla Manjula Philip & Morgane Billuart for artist presentations touching upon on Care, the collective power of DIY, Femtech, PMDD and the body in pain.
We are beyond excited to announce the next speaker for the Cranberryjuice in discussion series: Rebecca Gomperts! A Rietveld Academie alumni, the founder of Women on Waves, Aid Access and Women on Web - Rebecca is an innovative and heroic physician, artist and activist fighting to defend Women's rights to choose
Connected to Rebecca Gomperts’ presentation we will be screening the award winning documentary ‘Vessel’ by Diana Whitten.
To kick off a new chapter as an extracurricular platform, Cranberryjuice collective is hosting a monthly lecture series relating to medical sexual inequalities and care practices. For their first event they will be inviting queer medical anthropologist Maya Lane together with published writer and researcher Cláudia Pallisé to join them for talks and discussions in the gym. The informal lecture series is open to everyone: specifically students from the Rietveld & Sandberg, but also alumni and any other people for whom it strikes curiosity or interest. Cranberryjuice cocktails will be served!
Opening: March 19, 13:00 - 20:00

Connected to Rebecca Gomperts’ presentation we will be screening the award winning documentary ‘Vessel’ by Diana Whitten.
Vessel is Rebecca’s story: one of a woman who heard and answered a calling, and transformed a wildly improbable idea into a global movement. Vessel begins with a young doctor who lived by the sea, and an unlikely idea. Rebecca Gomperts, horrified by the realities created by anti-abortion law around the world, felt compelled to challenge this. Her method: to provide abortions on a ship in offshore waters. But with each roadblock comes a more refined mission, until Rebecca realizes she can use new technologies to bypass law – and train women to give themselves abortions using WHO-researched protocols with pills.
From there we witness her create an underground network of emboldened, informed activists who trust women to handle abortion themselves. Vessel is Rebecca’s story: one of a woman who hears and answers a calling, and transforms a wildly improbable idea into a global movement.
Join us 14th of November in the Gym for the screening.
