For this very first version of Bevegelig Uenighetsfelleskap, we have decided to mold the program into a collective study group. Throughout the two days we spent together, we will touch upon various modes of discussion, sharings, and soft introductions to theoretical content. For the workshops, we will propose concrete structures in which we want to engage with topics surrounding decoloniality and queerness. These engagements will happen within an informal atmosphere, through shorter speculative exercises, mind mapping, reading, listening, and collective discussions.
The program will be split in two days. Mariken is facilitating the first day, while the second will be hosted and led by Louis. Participation requires no preparation or former engagement with theory, but we ask you to attend both days.
Professional artists from any artistic discipline or background are more than welcome to apply (e.g., dance makers, visual artists, opera singers, etc). The study group will be minded toward "relatively" newly educated artists (in their establishment phase) or more established practitioners curious to engage with theory with little or no prior knowledge.
