Experimental Education Protocol: The Temple of All Beings
31. 7. – 12. 8. 23
The class provides an alternative educational methodology that will include different forms of artistic pedagogy, from performance to installation to self-publishing. The project already happened in 4 different versions, one last year in the Summer Academy. Participants (anyone interested in cultural practice) are asked to conduct educational models through workshops focusing on a case study. A statement accompanies this; in general, participants bypass their professional routine. Each edition is usually accompanied by a collectively edited publication (on demand) that will be presented at the end of the class.
The 5th edition will be a 2-week educational course in the Summer Academy. The title, The Temple of All Beings, suggests the case study will revolve around new self-made archetypal sacred spaces. Temples have always been spaces that embody sacred and collective modes of experiencing beliefs. They represent points for identification, and at the same time, they aspire to offer visions of an ideal life and existence. In some cases, temples are manifestations of qualities that pervade matter. But recently, one can have its idea of sacred space and new self-interpretative traditions reinforced by new knowledge and wisdom. A question for the participants is what possible stories could be told or unfold beyond archetypal spaces of contemplation. New definitions of the temple will be generated.
