Project description

Are universities and academic environments still privileged sites of producing and transmitting knowledge? Whom is the space open for? Which alternative ways of accessing, producing and sharing knowledge can be collectively imagined? Who are the actors of knowledge? Which ones are heard, which ones aren't (or only in a patronizing way)? Which types of knowledge count, which remain largely invisible? What do we lose if we continue to marginalize large parts of world's knowledge?

Starting point of this evening's discussion will be a project developed in this year's SHAKIN' international cooperation of Master Students of Université Lumière Lyon 2, University of the Arts, Belgrade and Bauhaus-Universität Weimar. Called "Stupid Togetherness", it proposes an embodied experience of space, which in unexpected and ironic ways subverts existing spatial power hierarchies and tries to convey a feeling of commonness and belonging.

From there, the other speakers will unfold the ways they found in their professional practice to address the questions mentioned above and deconstruct, shake and move the classical approach to spaces of knowledge. Finding room to appreciate, produce, and use different knowledges in an autonomous and emancipated way.
