	 A SHORT READING\nAT 6.30PM\n\nAmanda is an incidental periodical and a gl
	ossy magazine on technological\nmatters. As a self-published initiative by

	y and future-oriented contexts. Amanda is\ngreatly inspired by Tradeswomen
	 – a quarterly magazine for women in blue-collar\nwork\, published in the

	n Ye Stomachs” focuses on the social\,\npolitical and personal importance 
	of the ability to build\, which too often is\nalienated from most people a

	ibutions encourage a reflection on the matter through\nthemes like instinc
	tive children’s play\, animal construction skills\, natural\nbuilding meth
	ods\,gestures of disobedience and solutions for cooperative\nformations.\n

	, Mondriaan\nFund and Irish Museum of Modern Art.\n\nOlga Micińska is a pr
	acticing woodworker\, visual artist and educator. In her\ninterdisciplinar
	y approach she combines practical aspects of craft with\nfantastical anecd
	otes\, while projecting grounds for cooperation\,\nknowledge-sharing\, and
	 handling of the material and non-material resources.\n\nAndrea Verdecchia
	 is an architect specialised in housing\, affordability and\nco-production
	 developments. He is a co-founder of Time to Access\, an\nAmsterdam-based
