Open Call | Onassis AiR 2021/22: The School of Infinite Rehearsals

Movements V–VIII

The ONASSIS AiR 2021/22 OPEN CALL invites applications from artists, curators, designers, activists, collectives, educators, legal advocates, performance makers, economists, architects, filmmakers and other practitioners from any medium of expression or discipline to delve into a collective study around two research topics that we find urgent to address today.

Application deadline: 26.02.2021

For our second year of The School of Infinite Rehearsals, we want to look inwardly and also outwardly, for the spatial and temporal structures that affect the ways we live, the ways we act and the ways we come together. How do we relate to others and how do we organize our decisions? What modes of governance do we adhere to and how do we shape them? What economic systems do we choose to be complicit in and how much agency do we claim to implement radical alternatives? How do we institute our knowledge(s) and acknowledge our institutional complacency or complicity?

The School of Infinite Rehearsals 2021/22 delves into two research topics from different focal points.

During Fall 2021, Movement V & VI will collectively explore issues of governance, delving into self-organization (Movement V), and institutions (Movement VI).

In Spring 2022, Movement VII & VIII will tackle areas of economies, with a focus on community economies (Movement VII) and philanthropy (Movement VIII).

GOVERNANCE: ON SELF-ORGANIZATION & INSTITUTIONS

Movement V: Self-Organization (September 6–October 24, 2021)
