DAI, as Roaming Academy does not own or rent premises at a fixed location. Seven times per year, for the duration of our so-called Confluences, students, tutors and crew are hosted at a variety of locations scattered over Europe and occasionally also beyond.
Five of these seven landings of our “soft spaceship” happen in places where we return, or intend to return. For example, PAF in France, Nida Art Colony in Lithuania, and Centrale Fies in Italy have functioned as temporary home bases for several years. These places of return are part of the institutional network fabric that cradles us; they are thus not considered “focus locations.” Of course, this does not mean they are not embedded in surroundings rich with relevant historical, geopolitical, and cultural knowledge.
What are Focus Locations?
For each academic year, we select one, not previously explored (by us) “focus location” and team up with that year's Archipelago Weaver. The Archipelago Weaver—most often an alum, and/or dedicated DAI friend—proposes the location and commits to working with us practically and curatorially as an organic connector. Two out of the seven Confluences of that specific academic year take place at the focus location.
During Confluence#4, we will study together within the context of our four curriculum components. Together with the Archipelago Weaver, we will then also organize a Roaming Assembly that allows for a deeper dive into the local context through the input of invited guest presenters and is open, not only to our students and tutors, but to anybody who is interested. Confluence#7 centers around our annual COOP SUMMIT, where the collective research of our COOP study groups is publicly presented within the local context of that year's focus location.
