On Thursday 18 November at 20:00, Adriana's presentation at Waag will be broadcasted online.
We live in transitioning times. The future is uncertain. How do we equip for a different world? Artist Adriana Knouf helps us prepare for the unknown. During this workshop, we will practice learning from other (non-human) bodies and embracing the strange.
We’ll start by being with and among more-than-human entities in close proximity of the Nieuwmarkt. Adriana Knouf will provide inspiration for writing through site-specific explorations and prompts as well as how-to’s for small scale sampling and intimate relating. We will finish with a collective dinner (bring your own) and sharing of our work. The workshop costs €5,- including the programme, materials and coffee, tea and cookies. We hope you will stay over for the concluding presentation of Adriana at 20:00 hrs, where your writings will be woven into Adriana’s talk.
It is also possible to attend Adriana's presentation online for free at 20:00. Register via the link below.
