How do we mourn the death of the old institutions, toward new forms of relating within the art ecosystem? For this year's Swab talks, we want to produce a space where we think and act togehter when emerge new forms of solidarity.

There is no single center here, and we do not want one. We would rather scatter the centers, the senses with them, and what counts as valuable, as beautiful, as fair, until justice and equity are practised in many places at once, each with its own way of holding things up. As Suhail Malik reminded us, art is organized and constituted by circulatory and distributional conditions and circuits, not by the productivist requirement that it be made for its own sake. Art is coequally discursive and networked.

Much of what structures the present up was laid by empires, and is renewed each season in who has access to mobility, income, and recognition. We do not think better art can undo that from inside a market. Singing togehter, rethinking property, belonging and relations from artisitc practices have always experiment nouvel forms of togetherness that are al social relation and mode of production. What infrastructures can we imagine in times of aesthetical, institutionial and relational renewal?

We strive for dissent to stay in the room as a working tension that runs across roles, across collectives, and across the methods we borrow from art itself.
