29-30th OCTOBER | Manifesta 14 Prishtina and Antiwarcoalition.art

TO APPEAR IS TO MATTER
Manifesta 14 Prishtina proposes a 2-day programme conceptualised by the Antiwarcoalition.art that will take place at Prishtina (Kosovo) 14 on October 29–30, 2022.

DAY 2. October 30, Sunday

• Workshop by METASITU (Liva Dudareva & Eduardo Cassina) "Degrowth Institute in Prishtina, Manifesta 14"
Venue: Palace of Youth
Time: 10:00-15:30
10:00 welcoming coffee
10:30-15:30 workshop

Rooted in the practice of the Degrowth Institute workshops, METASITU proposes to develop a new degrowth exercise taking place in the Palace of Youth in Prishtina.

The exercise will use cards to create collective cartography. It will explore the practices and rituals for community storytelling. How does the community see itself? What does it remember?

A series of question cards will aim to tease the reflections and answers to these questions. The questions will be framed in a way that would allow for tapping into the local knowledge and leave room for imagination and speculation. The results will be expressed through drawings added to a collectively created tapestry.

About METASITU:
Established in 2014 by Liva Dudareva & Eduardo Cassina, METASITU is a collectivity that explores how to relate to territory across time and disciplines for a queerer tomorrow. Their practice focuses on non-hierarchical symbiotic pedagogies that take the form of urbanism residencies, architectural interventions, intentional communities, self-publishing, real estate experiments, and videos.

The Degrowth Institute is an initiative founded in 2015 by METASITU to establish emancipatory narratives in ‘shrinking’ (post)industrial cities. It has since evolved through multiple iterations of exhibitions, workshops and publications. Its mission is to challenge the notion that suggests that growth — population in particular — determines the success of a city.

Antiwarcoalition.art is a part of The European Pavilion, an international program of the European Cultural Foundation. The platform is also supported by The Danish Cultural Institute in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, Swedish Institute, Goethe Institut e.V.
