From arthouse to the royal house

HKU University of the Arts Utrecht and the HvU University of Applied Sciences formed one shared boat during the Utrecht Pride Parade this past Saturday. Together with the Utrecht City Council and many other organizations they showed the diversity which is so characteristic for the city of Utrecht nowadays.

Saskia Boddeke, director of HKU, was on the boat and spoke to the Utrecht-based TV channel RTV Utrecht about the importance of inclusivity and diversity within the university population.

Just like in previous years, the HKU boat sailed along the canals of Utrecht in front of all the other participating boats, forming the traditional head of the parade. Boddeke spoke to RTV Utrecht about the fact that the art academy has changed tremendously since the days when she was still a student in the 1980s and 1990s: “There was a completely different atmosphere then. Now, everyone is free to be who they are and to develop their own talents.”
