The International Research Platform inspired by experiences both from real democracy movements and artistic experimentation on new ways of conversing and assembling as a form of socio-artistic engagement, which aims to explore ways of imaginative interference to centre-staged politics, launched at KAMPNAGEL – Hamburg, in the frame of Performance Studies International Conference (June 2017), now continues in the frame of MitOst Festival in Franfurt (Oder) – Germany and Słubice – Poland, 4-8 October (www.mitostfestival.org).
Here, through a 3 hour participatory Workshop, we aim to collectively investigate current emergencies and their subversive potential as opportunities for change through the intensification of civic culture and dissident imagination.
