Winter School 2019
Working, eating and discussing together: that is the RITCS Winter School. The annual event brings together artists and arts students from across Europe around a central theme for a two and a half-week interdisciplinary research module. This years edition of the RITCS Winter School will focus on the topic 'Any Change Calls for Resistance'. In the course of the Winter School workshops and an evening program with discussions and lectures will be held at various locations in Brussels.
Theme: Any Change Calls for Resistance
This years edition of the RITCS Winter School will focus on the topic Any Change Calls for Resistance. During almost three weeks, we will investigate how we, as individuals and collectives respond to the changes which take place in and around us: the changes we fear, those we dream of, the changes we stimulate, those we try to resist, or those we intend to initiate ourselves…
What can artistic practices do in the face of the unprecedented scale and speed of the present cultural, political, technological and geological transformations? Is there a role for art to play in a situation where so many seem to feel so powerless? Should art at all hold itself busy with such questions? The Winter School will engage with these issues in a very hands-on fashion, following the paths and strategies proposed by three experienced arts practicioners.
