“What are the struggles, entanglements, and joys of practicing unlearning in predominantly Western contexts?”
Beginning in early 2025, we are organizing a reading group in preparation for the launch. Structured around four sessions, it provides participants with an opportunity to collectively engage with the book’s core themes and guiding questions. The sessions also draw connections with Unlearning Exercises: Art Organizations as Sites for Unlearning (2025/2018), of which the forthcoming book is the sister publication.
To mark the official launch of Unlearning Routines of the Impossible, we invite you to join us at Casco on Saturday, 15 February. The day begins with an introduction, followed by a conversation with several collaborators and contributors exploring the book’s core ideas and propositions. The event concludes with a festive gathering to honor this long-awaited project. Additional program details are announced in early January. Beyond the launch at our office gallery, a series of book launches take place in the Netherlands, Vienna, and other locations.
We are also excited to announce the republishing of Unlearning Exercises in a newly designed edition by Rosen Eveleigh. Copies of both sister publications are available for purchase at the event. Information on how to order them follows in the new year.
