Ergotherapy, Vagabondage, and Instituent Care is a lecture by Isabell Lorey given at the international conference “QUEER TOSQUELLES - Anti-Fascism, Vagabonding Psychiatry, Non-Identitarian Lives” on 21 June 2024 at the Academy of Media Arts in Cologne. The audio will be released today, 30 October, 2024 at 18:00 CET ~ In his revolutionary psychiatric practice, Francesc Tosquelles insists that institutions cannot care unless everyone cares for the institution. In the process of instituting, instituent care erodes the walls of the institution, spreads to the surroundings and allows itself to be transversally permeated. As a form of vagabondage, it remains unfamiliar and strange and allies itself with resistance. One of the many inspirations for these practices came from the reformatory psychiatric ergotherapy of Hermann Simon, director of the psychiatric hospital in Gütersloh, North Rhine-Westphalia, who increasingly advocated biologistic and social Darwinist positions at the end of the 1920s. Tosquelles hijacked Simon’s reformist practices to make revolutionary use of them.

We warmly congratulate Eduardo Cachucho (DAI, 2015): after 3 years he is stepping down as the the Creative Director of the Fak'ugesi African Digital Innovation Festival as from 1 December he will be moving to be the director of Pro Helvetia Johannesburg which covers all the foundation's work in sub-Saharan Africa. In light of this exciting new position, Eduardo will also step down from the Admissions Committee at DAI in order to allow "a new wave of alumni to be able to experience this most fullfilling work. Its been such an honor to meet and engage with their practices over this time." We give thanks to Eduardo and wish him all the best in his new position, while we eagerly look forward to continue our professional conversations whenever he & DAI cross paths in the future.
