Failed Utopias and Reflections on the Revolutionary Present
- BRING YOUR OWN CUSHION, CLOTH, YOGA MAT, or CARPET! -
Process. 1: CLASS (13:30 - 15:30)
We will start this session with a tour through the show FIVE HUNDRED AND TEN SHOWS, NO REVOLUTION by the artists who are making it happen. Our special guide of today is anthropologist Scott Dalby, who is currently teaching the course 'Big Questions in Future Society' at the Amsterdam University College. He will give a recap of the course and how/why he ended up at W139.
The last part of the class we will have the opportunity to create new forms through literally peeling off the walls of W139. An image of Martin Luther King who is walking around his own grave with his family painted in 2007 has the possibility to slowly reappear again.
Let’s celebrate the history of the birth and death of the future... but also the revolutionary potential of our experiences in the present.
Process. 2: EVENT - Thursday 3rd October (19:30 -22:00) - join us for food from 18:00
The content of this evening will be formed during the CLASS of September 25th.
