Program Description

The Re–Directing: East Curatorial Residency is a peer-learning workshop, a curatorial seminar and a research opportunity for a group of six individuals together with the teams of U–jazdowski, Biennale Warszawa and local actors. The participants are expected to share their experience and understanding of respective artistic and socio-political contexts and to actively participate in the discussion on alternative models of the transnational collaboration as a form of practicing planetary commons. We’d like to widen our political imagination, and speculate about the possible future relations between the former Eastern Block, Middle East and North African countries, focusing more on the commons, than on the cultural differences, discussing possibilities of creating alliances and forms of solidarity beyond the framework of the nation-state. This curatorial residency is a platform for developing a possible working collaboration with U–jazdowski, Biennale Warszawa in the years to come.
