On Saturday 15 people can take part in the workshop.
Dana Tomečková works with powders and texts. She considers them as materials that hold specific weight and tension.
In the workhops Space of Possibilities, she will introduce her research on a slippery character of reality. What are the possibilities that a reality is made of? If there is only one path from the spectrum of possibilities that can happen to us, do the other options disappear? Or do they all stay in a common time-space? What kind of pressure do they hold?
While looking for answers, there are two actors facing each other:
1. Something - that can happen, by itself, with its autonomous intensity, source, direction, speed
2. Someone (You?) - who sensitively notice Something, even before it happens, or may never notice it at all. You, who wants to make Something to happen, unhappen, or to do Something.
Dana's lecture on Friday will offer an overview of her work and the reading of excerpts of Something was about to happen and then…, where the interaction of two actors lead to a match, a collision, a clash, an almost-meeting, or repulsive force of never-meeting.
During the Saturday workshop, participants are invited to write and draw a map of possibilities, catching the threads that our reality is made of. We will look into its unstable character and try to find where we can stand, and to what extent we can contribute to its creation or change. We will be developing a tool that can help us to mind different versions of the future. Not to predict it, but to better sit with the uncertainty it brings, to open multiple views. In times of instability, the workshop wants to invite you to look for the ways how.
