Institutional Feelings
- Sep 2021
Floating University, Berlin
Workshop
There is a lot in the air in art and design schools: unspoken hierarchies and rules, competition and disappointments. We rarely talk about much of this. From a student position (and so also as part of the institution) we want to create space for vulnerability and look for caring and accessible ways of being with each other, which we currently missing in art school. We share our experiences from within the art school and create a big parachute (Schwungtuch) to make our Institutional Feelings visible. We will eat together, read texts, get to enjoy the floating environment and at the end, swing the parachute.
