Survival camp is a four-day trip (Wednesday - Saturday) to RK Poněšice designed primarily for students of master's studies.
The instilled visions of survival in an increasing precarized art scene seems more and more as a bizarre reality shows where the strongest, the most artistically gifted, those who build their position through hard and diligent work survive. In reality, however, these narratives only apply to the most privileged, who can build their practices on rich socio-cultural capital or high levels of luck.
Survival Camp, however, wants to be a step off the beaten path belonging only to a select few and a search for alternative strategies to continuous work. Survival Camp thus wants to be a place of unlearning the stereotypes of success, to fill in the blanks of our knowledge and experience, finding new ways of creative production.
Survival Camp will build on the personal situations of the participants, their needs, their difficulties. Together, we will try to find ways of producing and thinking about our own work that do not necessarily reproduce established patterns, but that are much closer to our individual needs, capacities and desires.
