CHAPTER 2 | 7:30--9 pm
IN THE CRACKS of LEARNINGS
✅
In the curatorial talk, part of SPORE's Shaping the System series, Pomarico and Oleynikov will share examples from their experiences in keeping a para-institutional space like Free Home University alive and their nano-politics in organizing and weaving resistances, in the cracks of the system(s).

Relevant teachings/ learning moments revolved on composting conflict, navigating implications, coming in and out of institutions before being coopted, situating and embodying practices, reflecting on mistakes and moving from intentions into actions, embracing a sense of belonging to a more than human community and extended temporalities.

Followed by Q&A with the testimonies of the participants to Free Home in various sessions through the past 12 years.
