The Shape of Co- to Come is a proposal, a symposium, an exhibition, a publication, a study circle, a research based site on collective transversality–tvärsektoriell samverkan–of the legacies of the welfare state project’s educational ideals and the free jazz club The Golden Circle, that co-occurred in the 1960s in the ABF house in Stockholm.
The Shape of Co- to Come is an invitation to a circle of people to be, see, listen, and discuss, talks, films and performances that touch upon these legacies through histories of labor and civil rights struggles, radical sound and voice experimentation, innovative educational visions, and intimate forms of solidarity. How can collisions of circles of expression and knowing co-create transversal relations rather than intolerance and myopic perspectival mud? Dreams of yesterday and tomorrow–in a multiplex nation, beyond the wavering attempts at co-existence on various societal scales, can the synergy of these intersecting practices of poetics and pedagogy, sound profusion and politicized formation, cross-pollinate into other geometric circles?
Tomorrow is the question!
Free and open to the public.
