ONASSIS AIR 2021/22: The School of Infinite Rehearsals: Movements V–VIII
ONASSIS AiR invites artists, curators, designers, activists, collectives, educators, legal advocates, performance makers, economists, architects, filmmakers and other practitioners from any medium of expression or discipline to apply for the second iteration of The School of Infinite Rehearsals: Movements V–VIII, running between September 2021 and June 2022.
Conceived as a collective research program and as a continuation of the individual program strands we introduced during our first year of existence, The School of Infinite Rehearsals brings together an interdisciplinary group of participants to exchange knowledges and practices around two research topics we find urgent to address and further explore collectively. For our second year of The School of Infinite Rehearsals, we want to look inwardly and also outwardly, for the spatial and temporal structures, that affect the ways we live, the ways we act and the ways we come together. How do we relate to others and how do we organize our decisions? What modes of governance do we adhere to and how do we shape them? What economic systems do we choose to be complicit in and how much agency do we claim to implement radical alternatives? How do we institute our knowledge(s) and acknowledge our institutional complacency or complicity?
In Fall 2021, Movement V & VI will collectively explore issues of governance, through the lens of discourse on self-organization (Movement V), and institutions (Movement VI).
In Spring 2022, Movement VII & VIII will tackle areas of economies, by focusing on community economies (Movement VII), and philanthropy (Movement VIII).
