Exercising Modernity Academy 2021 - We were/are the Future

FOR ARTISTS AND HUMANITIES SCHOLARS IN / FROM POLAND, GERMANY OR ISRAEL

We would like to draw your attention to the upcoming third edition of the Exercising Modernity Academy, Polish-German-Israeli cooperation that aims at a critical reflection on the legacy of modernity and offers young artists and humanities scholars the opportunity to exchange views on the culture and history of the 20th century. Participants must be citizens of or reside in respective countries.

The Academy is organised by the Pilecki Institute Berlin, in cooperation with the Adam Mickiewicz Institute in Warsaw and the Liebling Haus – White City Center in Tel Aviv. Usually the Academy takes place in all three countries, but this year, due to the pandemic, we decided to divide it into two parts – the first part is going to take place online in January and February 2021 and will focus on the theoretical introduction to the topic; the second part (if the pandemic allows) is going to take place in spring/summer 2021 and will include travel and study visits. Afterwards, participants will have the opportunity to apply for a scholarship.

The theme of the next edition of the Academy is "We were/are the Future". The online programme is divided into three thematic sections: New Ideas and Visions, New Art for a New Life, New State and Society. The sections aim to look at different levels of the idea of the future and the "new", in relation to classical modernism and the present day: the historical-cultural level, the level of arts and architecture, and the social-institutional level.

Further information on the academy and the application procedure can be found on our website.

The extended application deadline is 31.12.2020. Participation in the programme is free of charge.

We are looking forward to your applications.
