AFFECT is Agora’s program for collaborative artistic practices in Berlin, currently in its second edition
AFFECT 2015 is conceived as a 5-month-long program consisting of five consecutive modules each led by an international artist, who invites participants to collectively explore a topic and develop a set of practices and research methodologies over the period of one month in the city of Berlin.
Resembling an immersive summer academy, AFFECT offers a diverse curriculum of five workshops growing out of the research and practice of the facilitating artists:
Stine Marie Jacobsen
Sensitive Observers, we are the world and how to construct social platforms for it
May 4 – 30
Lorenzo Sandoval
Exploring the Endotic
June 1 – 28
Yves Mettler
Europe City in Berlin: beyond the masterplan
July 1 – 31
Diego Agulló
The artistic mission, what is the role of an artist in a for-profit economy?
August 3 – 30
Fotini Lazaridou-Hatzigoga
Mittelweg
September 1 – 27
The program is initiated by Agora Collective.
Each module takes the form of a participatory workshop revolving around a central research question supported by a series of activities proposed by the facilitators.
Participants will have the opportunity to collectively delve into the proposed research question, bringing in their own sensibilities, practice and experience. Collective exercises, urban explorations and site visits, readings and discussions will pave the way towards individual projects as well as a final event which will allow the group to share and exercise some of the module’s findings in a public format.
