The Ensemble of Skills @ De Appel

join this serie of workshops

The Ensemble of Skills is a serie of workshops initiated through a collaboration between The Beach and De Appel. Throughout the exhibition SCI FI AGIT PROP of the Hungarian artist Tamás Kaszás the Ensemble of Skills will investigate what kind of future scenarios we can imagine in the wake of a political, economical, or technological collapse. As Kaszás states that we shouldn’t be waiting for these breakdowns to take place as they are already happening around us on a daily basis.

Ensemble of Skills

At the Ensemble of Skills you will learn lost skills from the past but we will also analyze our society today and how we can develop new skills that can support us in everyday life to self-organize and self-provide. We will gather skills for the public communication and water, food and energy supply in a technologically broken world. The Ensemble will not only think but will also act to integrate the skills in our daily lives. Each workshop will be guided by an expert or an artist where different aspects of the theme will be explored.

The Ensemble will take place at De Appel.The first session will be 17 February, 14:00. We will lay out the basis of the necessities after the apocalypse. We will become active and with the guidance of a professional, we will build a shelter. This shelter will provide us with protection, warmth, a home feeling and a common place to communicate. Here we will start to discuss the next steps we will undertake during the next workshops.

We would love for you to join all the workshops! And feel free to send this invitation to other possible interested people.
