Ett politiskt klassrum av Apolonija Šušteršič

On until 31.12 2024

The subject is political, a concept that various thinkers understand and describe in very different ways. The political aspect of this classroom is negotiated, and seeks to bring awareness of our responsibility for the society we are continually forming together. Why not question the hegemonic system that’s in place, and think of alternatives that could serve us better? The Political Classroom can be a space for experimentation and trials of ideas, an arena for free thought and creativity that can engage everybody.

In connection with the exhibition Imagine an After at Tensta konsthall, a lecture is arranged with the Syrian architect Marwa al-Sabouni based in Homs. In her books The Battle for Home, Memoir of a Syrian Architect (2015) and Building for Hope: Towards an Architecture of Belonging (2021), she discusses the role of architecture in a society in crisis and how reconstruction can take place in the wake of long periods of war and economic depression.

Imagine an after at Tensta konsthall includes works by ten artists and architects who reflect in different ways on possible spaces and ways forward in a time of escalating conflicts that constantly leave new ruins and displacements of people in their wake. Marwa al-Sabouni will be participating via video link and after the lecture you are invited to a conversation moderated by Mariam Elnozahy, artistic director at Konsthall C.

The lecture will be held in English.

A collaboration between the The Stockholm Association of Architects, ArkDes, Architects Without Borders and Tensta konsthall.

Fridays and Sundays we welcome participants to our Language Café, open for those who want to practice their basics in Swedish and Arabic, as well as get to make new friends and share experiences and thoughts. The Language Café particularily welcomes those who, for some reason, stand outside the Swedish educational system. During the meetings, we practice grammar, socialize, read simple books and excersise conversation. We are continuously looking for new volunteers.
