(Dis)Organizing Otherwise@Bard College Berlin

Free Home's Drifting Library at Bard College Berlin convened and carefully curated by Elisa R. Linn took place on May 9.

With warmest thanks for this encounter with the group of her students and many Berlin friends, fellows and followers of Free Home for our modest 3-hr convivial storytelling and memories-reading we've called: Curating Otherwise: Affective Chronicles from Free Home University’s Radical Experiment in Art, Pedagogy, and Struggle, Conversation with Alessandra Pomarico and Nikolay Oleynikov.

The FHU Drifting Library has been assembled through gifts and suggestions, offering a space to explore alternative approaches, counter-narratives, and radical practices within our artistic and pedagogical experiment. At times, books drift to other learning sites, where they meet new writers, readers, practitioners, and conversations.
