inter@FAȚA este rezultatul unei colaborări interdisciplinare care sondează reacția la diferență.

„La un moment dat, mama mi-a zis << Știi, noi suntem țigani.>> Pe mine mă afecta asta la modul de ambitionare. I’m not gonna be like this. Îmi amintesc și acuma, a fost o decizie foarte clară, îmi amintesc de parcă ar fi fost ieri: Nu o să fiu niciodată țigancă!” Cristiana Grigore la 7 ani

Folosind mijloace de investigație specifice teatrului documentar, actorii Cătălina Bălălău, Liviu Popa, Ionuț Niculae și Paul Dunca împreună cu Andreea Chindriș, Maria Draghici, Alexandru Berceanu si Cătălin Crețu produc o investigație performativă a contactului între grupuri culturale diferite, precum comunitatea gay, etnicii romi si evrei și grupul cultural majoritar.

inter@FAȚA este rezultatul unei colaborări interdisciplinare care sondează reacția la diferență. Pornind de la documentarea și expunerea unor linii de discriminare prezente în societatea românească, în cadrul performance-ului inter@FAȚA se va genera în timp real muzică, pornind de la monitorizarea EEG a unui performer și a unui spectator.

Diferențele culturale provoacă frică și generează agresiune.

Diferențele culturale provoacă curiozitate și generează schimburi.

Sesizarea diferențelor reprezintă un mecansim adaptativ esențial supraviețuirii.

Adaptarea la diferențe generează evoluție.


Dispozitivul inter@FAȚA creează un flux creativ pornind de la emoțiile spectatorului și ale performatorului, unite cu ajutorul monitorizării EEG a activității neuronale, prin generarea de muzică în timp real de către compozitorul Cătălin Crețu, muzica fiind folosită ca suport coregrafic de Ana Costea.

CUT THE PORN AND ACT ON!

Redakzia starts with Maria Draghici and Corina Oprea and becomes extended with all the encounters we make, receiving impulses, looking for references, transforming us in a sort of filter and interpretors. Redakzia is a territoryless lab, which creates temporary structures, where we invite individuals and initiatives from both systemic and anti-systemic education to create ”the possibility”, a situation, which doesn’t exist yet but could be defined only through this new encounter. In the same time, all contribute and shape Redakzia itself as a platform for knowledge circulation, and thus they become part of its collective. Redakzia works in Göteborg through several channels: informal meetings, video interviews, a workshop on shaping temporary social structures, a symposium on modes of resistance in education and a collective editing of the final fanzine Circular Grounds #1. Everyone participating becomes part of Redakzia, through its own reflections, writings and inputs. 

Going back to school is to put yourself again in the vulnerable state of the one that needs to learn, the one that doesn’t know, in which you are prepared to search, listen, question, gain and ultimately transform yourself and act. The transformation refers to how we understand knowledge, which is produced through debate and not through learning, through questioning and not through acceptance of the general norm.

The relation between power and knowledge, in the Foucault-ian understanding, is a question of hegemony, which nowadays translates in the capitalization and institutionalization of knowledge. What we are interested in is breaking this hegemony and acknowledge other platforms of education and knowledge production, which may take the form of a university or a grass-root movement with a pedagogical consciousness. The systemic and the anti-systemic are brought to the same table. This leads to a new situation, unfamiliar and uncomfortable for all sides in order to redefine and transform.

Under Circular Grounds #1, we look at different educational initiatives, which happened in present or in the past in Göteborg. The time at Skogen is a pretext – an event - created for the analysis of both differences and commonalities of these experiences. We try to shape together with artists, activists, researchers, and journalists a toolkit on the expanded concept of pedagogy. Redakzia is thought to travel and take place to other spots, but we wanted to start with Göteborg and the Swedish context, where the debate on education is an important issue, being at risk of loosing its free status.

We have contacted several initiatives from Göteborg who are working either directly with education, but also activists, entities or movements who have a pedagogical vision incorporated in their actions. So far we talked with and about Fria Tidningen, Pantrarna, Vulgo café, Queer Institute, Experimentgymnasiet and Clandestino Institute. So far…

Politics of destabilization as a form of resistance it’s more what we work towards, meaning finding those gaps in the system where you can intervene, shake and challenge a fixed structure, a rigid concept. Education has become a production machine of knowledge based on the requirement to respond to the market and its economic rules, like an industry for specialized skills. Knowledge, on the other hand, is part of a social project, which is produced through circulation of information, reflection, feed-backing culture, and critical thought. Knowledge is a collective product, formed by the specificities of different angles and modes of address: radical, academic, in deep analysis and fieldwork. This is why it is essential to create such temporary labs in which each consciousness /knowledge matters and interacts with the others.

Beuys connects the idea of Social Sculpture to the famous phrase: “Everybody is an artist”. That means that everyone can creatively carve the social tissue around him. It’s not only that we can be creative, but we also have the responsibility of doing so. The extended concept of art is being able to create in all aspects of everyday life and work. When this extended concept of art does not refer only to the artistic production or just the artist itself, but it refers to everyone (ref: Everybody is an artist) only then, the concept is activated. Each intention to work becomes the beginning of an artwork.

Our aim is the production of a publication, as a toolkit of methods of alternative educational models. First sketch will be a fanzine produced and released during our last day at Skogen, through a collective workshop. In the future, we aim to structure current and future material in a publication which will reflect on the potential of a new school, influenced both by the anarchic models of the free universities and the systemic academy. The way we work is however through deconstructing the writing and the editing process, thinking of the publication as a social platform, enabling encounters and discussions along the way.

REDAKZIA 2014

http://skogen.pm/archive/2014/block-5-redakzia/

In collaboration with GIFF, Skogen has invited REDAKZIA (Bucharest-based artist Maria Draghici and Stockholm-based curator Corina Oprea) to continue their video mapping of social realities of today. This time, they are working on the production of a an art documentary – 6714- using a method of processual art, a hybrid of an open editorial and film production conducted publicly in the festival environment. The work starts during Gothenburg International Film Festival, through an ongoing process of making and editing the footage, the Videozine becoming a collage of images from the original film (”Jag är nyfiken”), gathered, collated, associated with 2014 Gothenburg´s realities envisioned in pictures and interviews.

STATEMENT
Going back to school
_____________________________________________________

A 2-weeks programme on alternative models of education and methods of knowledge circulation, taking shape through a series of workshops and public events, constructing a collective and public editing process of a publication-toolkit .


REDAKZIA becomes a collective and public editorial board where artists, curators, writers, scholars, activists and interested individuals will investigate the intersection between education and activism.

Various dispositifs will touch on the production of knowledge, through circulation, accumulation, shared and open processes and questioning the assumed authoritarian position when it comes to discourse, mediation of knowledge and delivery of educative information. The notion of passive spectatorship will also be put into question by engaging all interested visitors into the editorial process and by making public the editorial board meetings.


We believe in knowledge as a process of accumulation and shared information, experiences, opinions and references. Therefore, REDAKZIA works with a drafted glossary of words that trigger us in relation to knowledge production. The writing up on the draft will be done continuosly, through encounters we have, texts we read and people we meet. It is an open list where anyone interested in the topic is invited to add on.


REDAKZIA gathers contributors from Göteborg and elsewhere, associated with alternative forms of education. Formats will include dialogue tables, interviews and documentaries, screenings, common lunches. The outcome will be a publication.

ROMÂNIA COMPANIA

https://www.facebook.com/maria.draghici.161/media_set?set=a.10152073725794761.779846826&type=3

În 2013 artiști, sociologi, regizori, activiști, jurnaliști, copii și actanți ai societății civile din România au decis să schimbe direcția. Flama: Exproprierile în baza Legii Minelor. Caz: Roșia Montana.

Echipa Indicele de Indignare a izolat un grup de 60 de oameni din masa indignată și a documentat modul în care s-au organizat într-un context fictiv, distopic, un context în care aceasta lege este pusă în practică. Și, mai mult, secondată de o infestare a apelor din România, infestare care face ca orice om care bea apă să aibă depuneri de aur în intestine.

Echipa decide să documenteze întreg evenimentul care va avea loc în ziua de 22 Septembrie și să monteze totul într-un produs video – mock-verité – decizie care mută ideea de participativ și democratizare a desfășurării acțiunii pe planul 2 și prioritizează acțiunea în sine, sau mai bine zis, prezența permanentă a acțiunii. Astfel, echipa se lărgește cu patru operatori și cu un car de emisie care va facilita urmărirea – și coordonarea – tuturor planurilor evenimentului în timp real.

Buldozer // Traian Băsescu // Sânge artificial // Regizor femeie // 2015 // Scăpați de sub control // Activiști care fac pe jandarmii // Guvernul României // Femei care se dezbracă în fața poliției // Copii care culeg aur fals din fecale false // Putere // Totul este regizat // Liniște!


Un film de Maria Draghici și Ioana Păun
Acest film este o distopie. O înscenare politic-artistică.
