Social inclusion is riding high amongst the topics in the fields of art and education. But how exactly does it work and maybe, even more important: what does it mean? A discussion about crossing social borders and a highly practical search for a definition.
Gäste: Doris Uhlich, Michael Turinsky (Ravemachine)
On the meadow, in the backyard or simply on the pavement – the format is already quite far from the classical audience discussion when we dispute, tinker and fabulate. While dining together in different places across the city, the table talks track the alien in our everyday life. We question habits and familiarities from traditional customs to pets. We search the unknown in ourselves, the alien in paradise and the possible impossibilities of overcoming alienation.
What is strange to us, what is not, and why? When do we have to question the unknown, and when would it be better for us to question what we think we know? Together with visitors, artists and makers of the festival, we set the table for a temporary research lab and dive right into the subject matter without a blue-print.
A daily changing discussion adventure.
The discussions will be in German! If there should be bad weather we provide a "weather-safe-alternative".
