Date: 24, 25 en 26 May 2019

Language: English

Uncertainty Seminars continues. Stroom Den Haag presents a new series of our experimental events exploring doubt as a cultural strategy, and you are invited.

Uncertainty Seminars: Not Getting It taps into different forms of knowing and understanding, as well as not being able to get or take something. The artists, thinkers and makers in the program share a sensitivity to strategies of (non)visibility, absence and presence - and positions that refuse these binaries and exist in between.

PROGRAM
As part of Uncertainty Seminars: Not Getting It an exhibition by Florence Jung will be on display on Friday 24, Saturday 25 and Sunday 26 May during opening hours of Stroom Den Haag (12:00-17:00 hrs).

Friday 24 May 2019, 12:00-16:00 hrs
Reading group and workshop
Free admission
Students and professionals are invited to join this program about strategies of invisibility relating to the way societies allow for (in)equality. The material in the reading group and the workshop zooms in on alternative ways of ‘knowing' and the task of Listening. Developed and conducted by Francisca Khamis & Tina Reden & Davide Sanvee from Decolonial Futures.
