Pankaj Tiwari: Paperplane
Paperplane, is a participetry performance installation, that confronts western audiences with the ethics of flying in a globalised world. A poetic political reflection about climate change and relation between the west and global south, about diverse realities. On one hand, the airplane is a symbol of shame and pollution, and on the other it is a vessel of dreams. Who is allowed to fly, and whose dreams must remain on the ground?
The Institute for Organised Naivety is a series of experiments, workshops, lectures and readings initiated by Frederik Klanberg. The institute is an invitation to cultural practitioners to engage in a process of collective study. Although without pledging loyalty to a specific outcome, the loose intention of this programme is to build the strength and resilience needed to work within an unfortunately precarious cultural sector.
