The "Post-Education- Pedagogies of crises" projects has been
launched on February 18 2023, as part of the Opening weekend of Timisoara European Capital of Culture. An exhibition made by students and teachers from the master's programs "Interactive Technologies for Performing Arts and Media", respectively "New Media Design", CINETIC, University of Theater and Film Bucharest, with the title Pixels from a past future ( Pixels from a future past) has been presented at the Museum Complex of Arad, Romania. A visual translation i.e. map of the 2022 project workshops has also been produces and distributed in Arad and Timisoara. I was commissioned by Doar Maine Association and artist Nita Mocanu to write a text for this map, relevant for the discussions we had as a group in the first workshop of the project, in September 2022.
Here is the text (right low corner on the map):
Studios in schools Manifesto (Delia Popa, 2023)
Let's pretend we're all Eminescu and Brâncuși
Let's pretend we're all male and talented
Let's pretend we give education a chance
Let's pretend it's not too late
Let's pretend we're fighting illiteracy
Let's pretend we're fungi and be terrestrial or aquatic
Let's pretend we can be local and global at the same time
Let's pretend we're not anthropocentric
Let's pretend we love all sentient beings
Let's pretend we love plants too
Let's pretend we can teach through art
Let's pretend we are collectively intelligent
Let's pretend we are digitally savvy
Let's pretend we're not a chimera
Let's pretend we are resilient
Let's pretend we can have art studios in all Romanian schools
I will be part of two more events of this project in March and in October 2023,
more details soon.
