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, guests and crew are hosted at a variety of locations scattered over Europe and occasionally also beyond. 

Monastic Retreat

Five of these seven landings of our “soft spaceship” happen in places where we return, or intend to return. PAF in France, Nida Art Colony in Lithuania and Centrale Fies in Italy have functioned as temporary home bases for several years in a row and we are currently exploring additional options. These places of return are part of the institutional network fabric that cradles us. They are thus not considered focus locations, but rather as "monastic" retreats where we fully focus on study and research without paying specific attention to our surroundings. This, of course, does not mean these places are not embedded in surroundings rich with relevant historical, geopolitical, and cultural knowledge!

Focus Location

For each academic year, we select one, not previously visited (by us) “focus location” and team up with that year's Archipelago Weaver. Earlier this Archipelago Weaver—most often an alum, and/or dedicated DAI friend—had proposed the location to DAI's Head of Program, promising to commit to working with us as an organic connector and curator. Two out of the seven Confluences of that specific academic year (will) take place at the focus location.

During Confluence#4, we will study together within the context of our four curriculum components. In addition, the Archipelago Weaver in conversation with the DAI's artistic director, will then also convene a Roaming Assembly , a symposium that allows for a deeper dive into the local context through the input of invited guest presenters. The Roaming Assembly is open, not only to our students and COOP 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 wider habitat of that year's focus location, in close conversation with local institutions and partners.
