The trans-making project, in collaboration with the Cité internationale des arts, organise A Forum in the Making, a proposal to explore the question of art and research as levers for a European democratic renewal through the exhibition Europa Enterprise, which runs at the Cité internationale des arts until 11 December, and trans-making factory, a series of encounters on "Art and Democracy in a Biotic Society" which take place from 26 November to 3 December. 

trans-making factory | November 26 - December 11

The trans-making factory is a series of meetings around the theme: "Art and democracy in a biotic society". We will explore modes of action and research practices that stand at the intersection of art, culture and society.

These encounters and conversations also aim to broaden our perspectives and develop new ways of working, teaching and protecting creation, art and research.

SAPPHO

Inhuman chains of migrations, war and violence, extreme class differences, global rise of right-wing politics and religious fanaticism, catastrophic climate changes along with the current pandemic make the neoliberal world we live in. The old mechanisms of domination and social (re)production, such as colonial, capitalist and patriarchal, empowered by technological, scientific and (techno)cultural methods of political surveillance and territorial identification, have turned the world into a geopolitical warp-space riddled with ontological anxiety, planetary fear and a debilitating sense of never achieving enough
