“The role of the artist is to make the revolution irresistible” Toni Cade Bambara.

In this period of political uncertainty, Sandberg Instituut’s new Temporary Programme: Ecologies of Transformation will research how we can integrate art and embodiment to develop paths towards social change.

The course will research and develop artistic practices rooted in care and pleasure as an antidote to the burn out that is common to activism cultures.

Ecologies of Transformation is underpinned by the idea that learning about the past allows us to vision and grow new futures. The intention is to spend more time growing solutions than dismantling problems, while maintaining a generative critical lens to create work which facilitates community change. Core texts include adrienne maree brown’s Emergent Strategy and Pleasure Activism.

We encourage applicants with ancestry from outside of Europe. Applications close on April 1st.
