Dispatch: To whom it may concern – the voice of the censor and re-calibrating words as an act of survival
The following film focuses on L’Internationale’s mission statement, which appears in the invitation letter to the School of Common Knowledge. Along with the other documents required for official authorisation from the institutions to participate in the School, a translation of the invitation was requested. Certain parts of the statement had to be censored: ‘emancipation’, ‘new internationalism’, ‘social contract’, ‘collective’, and other terms reflecting a thinking otherwise are today subject to institutional policing and are hence part of a sensitive glossary. As institutions transform into disciplinary bodies, the practices of second guessing, intended readings, and ‘calibrating’ our speech have become common tactics for survival.

Open Call – School of Common Knowledge 2024
MSU (Zagreb), Van Abbemuseum (Eindhoven), MG+MSUM (Ljubljana), ZRC SAZU (Ljubljana) and L'Internationale invite applications for the new School of Common Knowledge (SCK) to be held in Zagreb and Ljubljana 24–29 May 2024.

Its ambition is to be both nomadic and situated, looking at specific cultural and geopolitical situations while exploring their relations and interdependencies with the rest of the world. The SCK is built on the basis laid by the Glossary of Common Knowledge project initiated by Zdenka Badovinac and Moderna galerija (Ljubljana) and continues its co-learning methodology.
