Welcome to the free workshop at Tieteen päivät, the University of Helsinki.
Shared Futures – Listening exercises to imagine the impossible
Studium 1, Helsingin yliopiston päärakennus, Fabianinkatu 33
Saturday 11.1. // 15.45 – 17.00
Description:
How do you imagine the impossible and share it with others? In this workshop, participants will work on multisensory listening exercises to delve deeper into thinking about radical imagination. We will listen, draw and walk together.
You can participate in English or Finnish. The exercises are done independently and in groups, and no experience in the arts is necessary.
The workshop is based on a long-term art project Shared Futures that was initiated by Fält, implemented by artists Fält, Anna Maria Väisänen and Roberto Fusco and supported by ANTI Contemporary Art Festival, Kuopio City and Arts Promotion Center Finland as a Project for cultural well-being for the elderly people. The project was invited to be presented as part of POLIMA seminars and workshops at Turku University between 2022-23. POLIMA is an ethnographic research project that addresses the timely question of political alienation and the dissipation of political imagination, as well as the need for fundamental social change. Last year, I wrote an article that collects and suggests alternative thinking tools for sociologists and other scientists who work on the topic of future research.
