Guilt and Dream
Author: Studio Jan De Vylder with Aslı Çiçek
Tags: #Parity Talks IX #Workshop
During this workshop, we will delve into a series of 6 texts: 3 centered around the theme of DREAM and 3 exploring the theme of GUILT, these texts encompass reality, fiction, care, society, and politics. To kick off, Asli Çiçek will introduce these texts, setting the stage for our collective exploration. We’ll form groups of 5, with each group selecting one text from each category (thus, 2 texts per group). In the first hour, we’ll engage in group discussions about these texts, exploring how they resonate with us, why they strike a chord (or don’t), and uncovering any common threads they share. Then, in the second hour, we’ll dissect these texts, by extracting certain passages or by annotating them to highlight what we wish to retain or discard, the methodologies will be developed in each groups. Our aim is to craft a new narrative, whether through complete rewriting or by weaving together elements to experiment with fresh writing styles, reading experiences, and new ways of interpretations. To wrap up, we’ll share our newly composed texts and engage in an open dialogue about the topics addressed.
Aslı Çiçek is architect, professor and co-editor of the magazine Oase.
