UPDATE: This gathering was cancelled due to a heatwave
We won’t call this a footnote. A heatwave severe enough to cancel a session on speculative futures is the crisis we gather against. Even cancelled, .d.a.s. is still a rehearsal, this time for protecting each other’s bodies, which is part of the practice too. The cancellation is part of the process, and it’s still an open question. We’ll find the next date, and the next act, and we’ll keep building the we that can act together, heatwave or not.
Thank you to everyone who was ready to show up. See you at the next gathering.
Invitation
The solstice is almost here. The days are stretching out, slow and full of light. The kind of light that makes staying outside feel like the only reasonable thing to do.
We would like to invite you to act outside with us.
Join us for the #5 open gathering of Disobedient Art School
When: June 26th, 16:30–19:00 Where: Overtoom 301, Amsterdam
In the first part of this session, we will be experimenting with Speculative Narratives, exploring the crisis of imagination and how we can exercise our disobedient muscle:
- When imagination is embodied, it becomes something we can feel and act from.
- We will speculate together, build a commons of possible worlds, and find the beginning of a we that can act together.
In the second part, we take it to the streets. We will be collectively creating a small performative act in public space. Unannounced and situated.
This is a .d.a.s. session, which means it is also an artwork, a rehearsal, and an open question.
As always, there will be vegan snacks to share. Bring something if you’d like.
