From the first round of Bergen Assembly Cross Courses at BAS, February 2024. The joik is made and performed by participants in the course Shifting Centres - Traversing Worlds with artist and joiker Katarina Dorothea Isaksen. Video: Thor Brødreskift
As a starting point for exploring questions central to the upcoming edition of Bergen Assembly, the joint conveners have drawn on an existing format at Bergen School of Architecture - the cross course. These courses are a platform to look into new methodologies, knowledges and forms of being and creating together.
Each cross-course has both a sharer and a tracer. While the sharer shapes and forms the course, the tracer will reflect on the course process from the perspective of their own practice, discovering traces that will carry forward in different forms towards Bergen Assembly 2025 and beyond.
Join us to learn about turfing and Sámi architecture, engage with unsorted archive material, explore sites in transition, listen to fish, get to know the individual trees in the ancient havrå forest, explore the potential of discarded hospital garments, uncover stories hidden in everyday life and get friendly with house plants.
Courses are open to a limited number of participants, requiring active participation and presence each day, from Tuesday, October 29th, to Friday, November 1st.
Sign up by October 20th (including). You can read the full course descriptions and sign up via the links – we hope you will join us for this exciting week of exchange and learning.
