Lecture Performance — What Role Can Art Play in Political Activism?

How can we, through cohabitation, embodiment, co-sensing, and sense-making, hold spaces of learning, unlearning, and uplearning? How can we organize and weave our resistance? Curator and author Alessandra Pomarico and artist Nikolai Oleynikov discuss artists' involvement in the fight against Porsche's car testing track expansion, which would have destroyed an ancient forest in Apulia, Italy. Drawing on their decade-long experience at Free Home University (Salento, Italy), they will share insights into tools, methods, and practice emerging from the pedagogical-artistic experiment, where research, art, and activism merge with the everyday life of communities of practice and struggle.
Admission is free; no booking required.
