Unmaking: Subverting The Every-Day
Mentor: Expodium (Nikos Doulos & Bart Witte)

Can we perceive ‘unmaking’ out of the common emphatic norms of activism, rebellion and disobedience?
'Unmaking’ suggests models of subverting existing patterns of perceiving and intervening in the society/ world. It encompasses all those alternative mechanisms devised to implement change. Expodium has been openly exploring ‘unmaking’ through three basic themes - Urban Cannibalism, Walking and Play.
During the module they will tap into modes of relating with the urban environment on an ecological, social and political level, collectively practicing mechanisms of exchanging and transmitting ideas with a goal of generating tools of implementing artistic practices within the ever-changing every-day.
