Blind Date, a practice of obeying surprise
Adonis Volanakis
Thursday, November, 7, 18:30-20:30

Blind Date started in 2006 as an interdisciplinary, art research platform, relying on collaboration, relational aesthetics and performative civic participation. Since then its form, duration, location and participants are ever changing. The date is blind. It is an encounter obeying surprise, exactly like the basis of placemaking. Meeting the stranger is where

change happens. Change is the space of all-ness without hierarchies respecting diversity and otherness.

Key notions are togethering as a practice and research tool, handcrafting as tool of remembrance, critical reclaiming of public space, working together with communities, urban emptiness, artistic citizenship, critical collaborations, pedagogy of the oppressed, emancipation of the spectator.
