Gathering Knowledges

As part of the public ‘Gathering Knowledges’ day on 29 November 2024, the Institute Experimental Design and Media Cultures (IXDM) at the HGK Basel will reflect on what we understand by knowledge. How can creative practices transform our knowledge into social movements? What perspectives do alternative knowledge systems open up?

The one-day forum, will reflect on how power relations and contexts shape the production and validation of knowledge and how we can situate our own points of view. It will contain contributions by Bafta Sarbo, Kevin Ochieng Okoth and other guests as well as reports from workshops with Eric Otieno Sumba, Ozan Güngör, Elvira Soliman and students from the Bachelor’s degree programme in Process Design and the Master’s degree programme in Transversal Design.
