Wednesday, Oct 18, 2017 – Saturday, Oct 21, 2017
Curated by the Harun Farocki Institut
Within the framework of the three month Harun Farocki Retrospective shown in Berlin an educational-performative platform will be established at Haus der Kulturen der Welt (HKW) and at silent green Kulturquartier from October 18 to 21, 2017. During four days Farocki Now: A Temporary Academy will serve as a forum for workshops, presentations, and debates which explore the contemporary relevance of Harun Farocki’s work and thought, placing it in new contexts and activating its productive potential. Six study groups from colleges, universities and self-organized institutes from Alexandria, Berlin, Jakarta, Philadelphia, and Potsdam will present their months-long research extending from Farocki’s work in the broad or narrow sense.
