Rehearsing
OVER 2026 AND 2027, WE REHEARSE THE POETICS OF RESISTANCE BY GATHERING TO TALK, TO LEARN, AND TO CREATE AND EXPERIENCE ARTISTIC ACTIONS. ACROSS THE PROJECT, WE EXPLORE GESTURES, TACTICS, AND PRACTICES OF RESISTANCE THAT ARE POETIC, OPEN, AND EMBEDDED IN EVERYDAY LIFE. HERE YOU'LL FIND THE DATES AND COORDINATES OF PUBLIC EVENTS THAT INVITE DIALOGUE AND THE CREATION OF NEW SOCIAL AND AESTHETIC POSSIBILITIES. THE PUBLIC PROGRAM POETICS OF RESISTANCE TAKES PLACE PRIMARILY AT MAKE-UP E.V., A SPACE FOR RESEARCH, DISCUSSION, AND ARTISTIC EXPERIMENTATION.

Poetics of Resistance 19 May 2026 Discussion & Reading
Poetics of Resistance 19 May 2026 Discussion & Reading
How can art remain resistant when critique is continuously absorbed, neutralized, or repressed? How can artistic action work politically besides the conventions of opposition?
Talking Poetics of Resistance is a monthly reading and discussion group exploring artistic and theoretical positions situated between aesthetics and life. We focus on artistic languages that are rather metaphorical than didactic; subtle, precise, and humorous interventions that generate political resonance without collapsing into slogans.
Each session brings together collective reading, discussion, and artistic work. We read key passages, debate central arguments, and relate them to concrete practices. Guiding questions accompany us: What makes a practice resistant? How does aesthetic or poetic form operate politically? Where can we locate the poetics of resistance today?
