KIBLIX 2022 Pre-events / Reading Group: A Repair Manual for Spaceship Earth - Degrowth and the City


KIBLIX 2022 Pre-events / Reading Group: A Repair Manual for Spaceship Earth
11 April–13 June 2022 (10 meetings), at 5:30 p.m.
MMC KIBLA                  

As part of our non-formal education program, we are pleased to announce a reading group entitled A Repair Manual for Spaceship Earth. The series of ten meetings will be moderated by art historians and curators Irena Borić and Živa Kleindienst. We will meet weekly from the beginning of April to the beginning of June. The reading group is designed as an open space for meetings, dialogue, conversation and collaborative learning about ecological, socio-political and activist topics, which will be drawn from KIBLA's intermedia productions and the visual exhibition program. The aim of the shared reading of selected texts and collective reflection is to get to know a wide range of artworks and to exchange knowledge on current theories of contemporaneity, the development of technology and the social, political and economic concepts that dictate global shifts and thus condition our everyday lives.

The meetings will be held weekly on Mondays (except for holidays in April and May when the meetings will be moved to Tuesdays) from 11 April to 13 June 2022 at MMC KIBLA (Ulica kneza Koclja 9). The reading group is aimed at a wider, general audience; no professional background is expected, except curiosity, a desire for collaborative learning and sharing of knowledge. We kindly recommend that you read the proposed texts in advance. To register your participation and receive the texts in PDF format, please send an e-mail to irena.boric@kibla.org. Registration is for information only and is not binding.

You are cordially invited!


3. Degrowth and the City
Monday, 25 April, at 5:30 p.m.

This time we will look at the text Degrowth and the City by Angelos Varvarousis and Penny Koutrolikou. Based on what we have read, we will learn about the concept of degrowth in the context of urbanism. One of the central questions of the authors of the text is »how can cities become places of experimentation that challenge and transcend the growth imperative? What is the role of architecture and urban planning in this process?«.

The text is available at https://www.e-flux.com/architecture/overgrowth/221623/degrowth-and-the-city/
