The present is characterized by a crisis of the established epistemic-political order. Outdated categories and terms no longer function and representational logics fail to grasp the complexity of contemporary phenomena. Increasingly global societies experience a sharp rise in social complexity, accelerated by digital infrastructures. In this situation, it is necessary to unlearn established modes of referring to the world and to rethink methods of constructing, situating and criticizing reality. During the Opening Days of HKW’s (Haus der Kulturen der Welt) new long-term project »Das Neue Alphabet« in January 2019, HKW will set up a unique space for gathering, discussion and workshops—a unique »(Un-)Learning Place« curated by Boris Buden and Olga von Schubert. In the five-day curriculum international participants are invited to take part in (Un-)Learning Tracks to work with curatorial, artistic, or activist strategies in close collaboration with self-organized research collectives and independent artists and curators.
