2020-2021 UNDERSTORY CHANT ~ 24 Aeroponic Acts

conversations-in-a-form, invigorated by sonsbeek20→24.

Each act of 20 minutes offers a question as a practice of engagement.

DAI invited Barby Asante, Lisette Lagnado and Momtaza Mehri to respond, by means of spoken, improvised reflections, and help us think through what will be embodied and proposed by 24 DAI graduates 2021.

(whereby it should be noted that the aeroponic acts mark the end of only one out of the several journeys the students have to accomplish during their two years of study with DAI. Projects such as the writing of a thesis or the committed participation in the COOP collectives are also at the heart of our program ~ this year our annual COOP SUMMIT will be presented at Santuari de Lluc, Mallorca on the 5th and 6th of Octobre upcoming).

The alliance between DAI and sonsbeek20-24 radiates outwards in multiple efforts, culminating into a joint program, a hybrid of sonsbeek20-24 ‘s councils and DAI’s Roaming Assembly (a recurring, guest curated public symposium). Iterations revolve around, touch upon and articulate in different ways the connections between the educational efforts of DAI and the line of questioning around 'labour and its sonicities' that is central to sonsbeek20-24.

Saturday 28 & Sunday 29 August: you are welcome to also join us for Roaming Assembly#29 presents Sonsbeek Council#3 ~ SEXWORK IS HONEST WORK ~ an ongoing invocation convened by sonsbeek20→24. 

                  

AEROPONIC ACTS are an annually recurring part of the Planetary Campus curriculum component.
