Gizem Üstüner and M.C. Julie Yu, @No.More.Later, 2020, online demonstration/Instagram account

@No.More.Later aims to raise awareness about the crisis that international art students in
the Netherlands face due to the COVID-19 outbreak. It demands art schools to take action
concerning the students’ financial situation—for instance by reimbursing their tuition fees—
as well as the sudden switch to online education without asking for the students’ or the
teachers’ consent. The Instagram account highlights the multiple issues at stake in
institutions for art education, such as the exclusion of non-EU students, a dysfunctional
student union, a lack of communication amongst art schools—issues that are shared by
many students, including Üstüner and Yu who initiated this project.
Experiencing and working on the Mutual Support Platform(MSP), Üstüner and Yu sensed
the urgency to not only engage with various problems that the obstinate art educational
structure continues to (re)produce but also to reveal the complexity of the inner workings
of the art academy to the wider public.

After a few months of calling solidarity within the Dutch landscape of higher education,
@No.More.Later has helped on the National Alliance of Art schools in the Netherlands and
recruited more students as collaborators. By August 2020, it became an initiative with nine
students from six different art academies. The online demonstration continually serves as
an online platform for sharing practical information, updates about the negotiation process
within each art academy, as well as critical reflections on the system of art education at
large. @No.More.Later dedicates the idea of Mutual Support to the international students
in crisis and creatively transforms students’ struggles into action.
