We’re approaching the most dangerous point in human history.

Noam Chomsky, 6–13 April 2022

We could be facing the end of “the end of history”.

Francis Fukuyama, 30 March 2022

The workshop will focus on a logical contradiction, a paradox concerning us, with questions such as: How is it possible that the most intelligent beings on Earth – that’s us – are building a system, a belief in progress and a better life, while knowing and having increasing proof that it is precisely this that is leading to the end. What is so deficient, so faulty in our cognition, where is the flaw allowing this to happen?

We know, but do not believe, and we believe in something that we do not know. Or, we’re already worried, but would rather not care yet.

Your thoughts, verse, statements, paradoxes, optimistic or pessimistic messages will be written and visually shaped out of copper cent coins on a black magnetic vertical surface, which will then form part of the exhibition.
