14.00-17.00, Reflecting on The Disouvre, discussion & zine-making workshop
Participants And Others – Felicity Allen, with Carla Cruz & Lily Hall
This workshop involves discussion, drawing, writing and zine-making. Artist Felicity Allen introduces her concept of the “disoeuvre” – an inclusive interpretation of artists’ work – and together with artist Carla Cruz and curator Lily Hall leads a practical workshop. Focussing on their own experience of interrupted or diverted artistic practice, attendees are invited to bring an object, image* or text which connects with something that they have done, made, or experienced, as an interruption in practice.
Interruptions might relate to employment, or activism, or caring for a friend or relative. Using memory and aided by these objects, we will investigate how interruptions might generate applied forms of art. We aim to produce a zine which manifests creative practice stretched to be inclusive, relational or collective.
*If you prefer to bring a photograph, please bring it as a printed image, not on a screen.

Collaborative Methodologies for Artistic Research and Practice, public workshop
Workshop lead by: And Others — Carla Cruz
What can a collaborative methodology for artistic research and practice be? In this session, artist Carla Cruz shares concepts that she has been trying to apply to her individual and collaborative practice. The workshop focuses on intuition as a method, with reference to the work of philosopher Gilles Deleuze; as well as ‘The uses of the erotic: the erotic as power’, a text by philosopher and intersectional feminist Audre Lorde; and ‘Feeledwork’, a talk by feminist cultural theorist Astrida Neimanis. During the workshop we will use conversation, paper and pens to give shape to our desires, to clarify our ideas and paths and to focus our creative energy. In this session we will also shape different collaboration models, as a way of sharing and shaping possibilities for collaborative work.

All Our Grievences Are Connected But We Are Tired!, public workshop
Participants: And others – Fabiola Fiocco
In a society that commodifies every social interaction while constantly providing reasons for outrage, it has become challenging to protect and direct one’s energies towards slower, more enduring social processes.

Focusing on instances of activism within the arts, this workshop is meant to provide a platform – both theoretical and practical – to share and imagine strategies and structures that promote more sustainable forms of self-organising and political-artistic action.

Unweaving Collective Artistic Labour, talk & workshop,
Participants: And Others – Karolina Majewska-Güde
This event combines a talk and a group workshop exercise exploring the hidden and under-valued facets of collective cultural labour. The talk by art historian Karolina Majewska-Güde will share questions and findings from two workshops that were conducted by Lina Džuverović, Carla Cruz, Helena Reckitt and herself in Lisbon and Riga during the 2023-2024 conference ‘The Lost and Found. Revising Art Stories in Search of Potential Changes.’ These workshops were conceived as practical exercises in the historiography of collective artistic work, inspired by questions raised in earlier writing sessions and public online panels of the And Others Network.
Attendees will be invited to take part in an exercise to create DIY trophies that celebrate the invisible, reproductive, maintenance labour involved in collective artistic projects. A discussion will follow.

Participants: Darinka Pop-Mitić & The Yugoslav Non-Aligned Movement Solidarity Archive (NAMSA) – The Documents of Olja Džuverović
The working group that initially assembled in 2022 around the Yugoslav Non-aligned Movement Solidarity Archive (NAMSA), the documents of Olja Džuverovic, invites interested participants to join a discussion, reading and planning meeting held in the installation Olja with Darinka Pop-Mitić together with working group and public. The group aims to be a space for in-depth engagement with the material in the archive, moving beyond simply showcasing the archive in an exhibition context. We will aim to learn together from the varied materials in the archive – documents, letters, reports, bulletins, images, dating from 1970s and 1980s, and shedding light on Yugoslav political relations with Sub-Saharan African countries during the period of decolonisation, in particular focussing on the country’s relations with Zimbabwe, Namibia, South Africa, Tanzania and Angola. The group will aim to engage fully with specific contexts, situations, events that the archive documents. We will explore ways in which this segment of Non-Aligned history can be an inspiration for our work today. The session will be led by Darinka Pop- Mitić and the curators of Hope is a Discipline will involve in reading and an active discussion with all present.
