Na začátku školního roku organizuje nově založené Centrum pro umění a ekologii nUMPRUM účast studentů a studentek na sympoziu reEDOcate me!, které se koná v Berlíně v rámci projektu FLOATING UNIVERSITY kolektivu raumlabor. Tématem sympozia je období EDO z dějin Japonska, kdy byla tato země hermeticky odříznuta od okolního světa (1603-1867) a musela se naučit žít udržitelně, soběstačně, cirkulárně, ekologicky ... “Učením se” z japonských principů budeme společně tvořit a uvažovat o jejich možné aplikaci v dnešním světě.
Lektory a lektorkami jednotlivých skupin budou:
Sabine Zahn – choreografie, Berlín
Michikazu Matsune – performance art, Tokio/ Vídeň
Mayer Franz – vizuální umění, Curych
Makiko Yamaguchi – dramaturgie, Tokio
Andreas Greiner – vizuální umění, Berlín
Katerina Vídenová – vaření a architektura, Praha
Cestovné, strava a ubytování jsou pro vybrané studenty zdarma. V případě zájmu nám prosím zašlete své portfolio a krátký motivační dopis do 12. září 2022.

"We find ourselves in a war that has brought us into fundamental opposition to the world," writes Michel Serres. And apart from a comprehensive re-education, a brainwashing aimed at radically changing our everyday culture, we are, we assume, beyond salvation. A practical implementation of our knowledge regarding the necessity of change is not only hindered by personal convenience, it also encounters powerful economic actors and lobbying associations that use targeted manipulation to keep us on the path of fossil growth capitalism while preaching about the autonomous individual.
The ReEDOcate ME! festival is an artistic response to this. Art is capable of creating spaces of experience that can interrupt toxic patterns of behaviour and change everyday perceptions. Thus, artistic works are predestined to play a decisive role in radically changing the way we live and do business.
The participants of ReEDOcate ME! will undergo a voluntary re-education. They will unlearn toxic life practices and rehearse new, sustainable ones, thus freeing themselves from internalised compulsions of fossil capitalism. For this to happen, it requires cognitive impulses, but above all the sensual experience of openness and the new.
The ReEDOcate ME! will tackle issues of resource conservation not only in terms of aesthetics and content: To compensate for the unavoidable CO2 footprint of the project, we are going to plant a corresponding number of trees in advance. The participating artists will be able to realise their works only within their respective CO2 quotas.
A festival and camp on the art of transformation
October 14-23, 2022
FLOATING UNIVERSITY, TEMPELHOF BERLIN
At the beginning of the school year, the newly founded Centre for Art and Ecology at UMPRUM organizes the participation of UMPRUM students in the reEDOcate me! symposium, which takes place in Berlin as part of the Floating university project by the raumlabor collective. The theme is the EDO period of Japanese history, when the country was hermetically sealed off from the outside world between 1603 and 1867 and had to learn to live sustainably, self-sufficiently, circularly, ecologically ... Learning from Japanese principles, the students will create for today's world.
The lecturers of each workshop groups will be:
Sabine Zahn - choreographer, Berlin
Michkazu Matsune - performance art, Tokyo, Vienna
Mayer Franz - visual artists, Zurich
Makiko Yamaguchi - dramaturg, Tokyo
Andreas Greiner - visual artist, Berlin
Katerina Vídenova - cook, Prague
Travel, food and accommodation are free for the selected students. In case you are interested, please, send us your portfolio and a short motivation letter until September 12th 2022.
