2023

The program of the fifth generation of WHW Akademija started in March 2023 and will last until November 2023. It is set up as an education model that combines online and physical encounters and explores participatory modes of artistic and knowledge production.

As we are transitioning from the pandemic to an even more severe crisis related to the ongoing wars, rising austerity measures, increasing international recession, and intensifying ecological disaster, WHW Akademija 2023 aims to create an environment for engaged eco-social participatory cultural production. Focused on eco-social and somatic practices, artistic ecologies, care, collectivity, and degrowth, the 2023 program explores methodologies developed by artists and cultural workers to engage with their environments, be that artistic, social, digital, or ecological.

The 2023 program includes twelve participants and two summer school guest participants. The professorial team for 2023 is: Yael Davids, Adelita Husni-Bey, Miguel A. López, Pablo Martínez, Marina Naprushkina, and WHW. Alongside this professorial team, the public lectures and workshop series Evenings with WHW Akademija brings together further artists, curators, and thinkers, such as farid rakun/ruangrupa, alumni of WHW Akademija, and others, who will present public conversations and lectures.
