Cultural Practices for re/Imagining & un/Learning Vocabularies Smashing Wor(l)ds: Cultural Practices for re/Imagining & un/Learning Vocabularies aims to engage with vocabularies, languages, and
narratives of resistance in order to build new forms of expressions against an epistemic violence of growing levels ingrained
in our vocabularies.
The project is built as a collaborative and multidisciplinary platform bringing together
institutions, artists, grassroots organizations, and researchers for a multivalent dialogue between diverse
life practices, stories, and voices to oppose cultural and social marginalization. We will address the forms
of communication and practices of European cultural institutions through processes of questioning vocabularies, hegemonic
narratives, and centric knowledge. The project will establish a map of sharing experiences, and a charter
and podcasts for future vocabularies, inspired by counter-cultural activities opposing xenophobia, heteronormativity, and
racism.
This project is the result of a partnership between the
