Project Space
10.10.2007
str. Pictor Arthur Verona, nr.19
ak kraak – videoactivism si documentare critica in contextul activismului – Katharina Koch, Marie Du Vinage, Florian Hülsey, Elizabeth Grenier.
12:00 – 19:00 Video lounge
19:00- 21:00 Prezentarea istoriei grupului Ak Kraak ca parte a scenei de stanga din Berlin 1990 – 2007
21:00 – 22:00 Magazin 24- documentare de scurt metraj, Berlin, 2006
Prezentarea istoriei si activitatii grupului de video activism ak kraak din Berlin in contextul miscarii anarhiste din Germania si internationale cat si atelierul despre moduri alternative de a produce filme documentare vor cuprinde idei despre strategii de auto-organizare, despre conceptul de do it yourself, despre o raportare critica la filmul documentar, diferita de cea mainstream corporatista, despre feluri de a lucra impreuna. Va fi proiectata o selectie de filme din arhiva ak kraak realizate in perioada 1990-2007 si va putea fi consultata o arhiva cu postere si materiale informative despre activitatea grupului.
Project Space este parte din proiectul Spatiul Public Bucuresti / Public Art Bucharest 2007.
Va invitam in 08.10.2007 la orele 19:00 pe strada Pictor Arthur Verona nr 19 la prezentarea Ce mai fac eroii nostri? sustinuta de catre Cristian Cercel
In timpul national-comunismului promovat de Ceausescu, manualele scolare (de istorie si literatura romana mai cu seama) prezentau o naratiune eroizata a istoriei romanilor (n.b.: istoria era a romanilor, si nu a Romaniei). Fara existenta unor alternative autentice, monopolul producerii si reproducerii de identitate se afla in mainile Partidului, unul dintre canalele cele mai importante prin care o identitate nationala departe de a fi all-inclusive era propagata fiind sistemul educational. Care este insa situatia acum, dupa ce manualele alternative au devenit o realitate cotidiana pentru elevii de liceu? Cum o mai duc acum vajnicii nostri eroi nationali? Cat de diferita este actuala ‘naratiune romana’ fata de cea din epoca national-comunista?
Cristian Cercel este traducator, absolvent al departamentului de Studii Europene din cadrul Facultatii de Litere a Universitatii Bucuresti, Master of Arts in Nationalism Studies, la Central European University, Budapesta.

Va invitam in 07.10.2007 la orele 19:00 pe strada Pictor Arthur Verona nr 19 la prezentarea Initiativa One Laptop Per Child in Romania sustinuta de catre Liviu Pop.
Prezentarea Initiativa One Laptop Per Child in Romania se va referi la proiectul OLPC initiat de Nicolas Negroponte care propune o alternativa educationala revolutionara destinata tarilor din lumea a treia, dar nu numai. Chiar daca laptopul proiectat de catre reprezentantul MIT pare modest ca si caracteristici tehnice in comparatie cu standardele tehnologiilor informationale de ultima ora, ar putea reprezenta o imbunatatire radicala a sistemului educational romanesc. Povestea acceptarii initiale si a ingroparii ulterioare a proiectului de catre politicienii romani nu ar trebui sa fie ultimul capitol al OLPC-ului in Romania, ci inceputul unei dezbateri serioase despre modernizarea reala a educatiei in Romania.
