DICTIONARY OF WAR is a collaborative platform for creating 100 concepts on the issue of war, to be invented, arranged, and presented by scientists, artists, theorists, and activists at four public, two-day events in Frankfurt, Munich, Graz, and Berlin. The aim is to create key concepts that either play a significant role in current discussions of war, have so far been neglected, or have yet to be created. See .

A yearlong program of monthly seminars and workshops, Night School draws upon a group of local and international artists, writers, and theorists to conceptualize and conduct the program.
