Information:

Our current social order is surely reaching a critical period of its time. With the rise of ethno-national parties and fragmentation of European Union, authoritarianism feed on xenophobia generated by 'terrorism'. Dazzled by the hyperreality of overloading information and sensation from media channels,we find ourselves questioning the future of borderless and multi-cultural landscape of Europe. Is cultural diversity deteriorating or is it a transition of new order ? Or is such turbulent time catalysis of artistic and cultural resistance? What does activism mean in such context?Is it a event? a desire? or emotion?

Our future is heading toward the unknown. Can we find the possible new vision, structure, model and tool through the act of art?

Poetics of Politics(PoP) is an one day boot camp in artivism. The aim is to interweave the euro-political discourse with multiplex roles, formats and disciplines in terms of art, activism and technology. The program includes symposium, temporary library as research space, workshop and social gathering.

The symposium is composed of practitioners and theorists from a diverse background and insights in arts and politics, imagining clarity, narrative and strategy for the possible future. The library serves as a hub for ideologies while passionate manifestations evolved into workshop and performance.
