Join us for a new season of the Syllabus Reading Group! We gather online on Thursday nights, every month from February 24 onwards (all dates below, from 19.00 - 20.30 BXL time.)

Since 2020, the Syllabus Reading Group is organized by Kunsthal Gent around the work 'Syllabus' by the Irish artist Jesse Jones: a monumental curtain with the arm of Silvia Federici, creating a space for (activist) gathering.

This season is organized in collaboration with Jesse Jones and feminist researcher Barbara Mahlknecht, around the theme of care - from care work to institutional intimacies. How do we create a culture of care in our everyday encounters and social reproductions?

We will read and discuss a new text every month. By the end of each meeting we suggest several texts and decide together what we will read the next month. You can also just join and listen in. Welcome!

SUMMER 2022
The Syllabus reading groups lead up to a Syllabus Summer School Retreat, to take place live in Kunsthal Gent in July 2022. This live Summer school aims to ask the question: How do we return to a space of shared cultural community after two years of lockdown?
