Summer School of the Innovative Training Programme FEINART.
It is crucial to fundamentally reexamine how people relate to the outside world in these times of numerous planetary catastrophes and to develop fresh perspectives on the human/non-human divide. The need for centers of alternative theoretical and practical activity where new epistemologies, new ways of cooperating in solidarity, and new social infrastructures can be investigated is expanding globally.
The Summer School of the Innovative Training Programme FEINART, which is based on socially engaged art, welcomes scholars, curators, practitioners, artists, advanced master’s level students, and PhD candidates to take part in two days of rigorous debates and exchange. Developments and theoretical stances around socially engaged art will be reviewed and discussed during the course of this two-day conference.
Participants are invited to workshops on topics such as self-governance and commoning, collective learning, creating institutions, community building and local knowledge production, and exploring social ecologies in lectures, discussion panels, and parallel workshops led by activists and internationally renowned experts.
Presenters are, among others, Fahyma Alnablsi, Massimo de Angelis, Margit Czenki, Maria Hlavajova, Elke Krasny, Nomusa Makhubu, Marina Naprushkina, Ahmet Öğüt, Carolina Rito, John Roberts, Christoph Schäfer, Karen van den Berg, Jeanne van Heeswijk, and Mi Yo.
