This film takes the viewer down the rabbit hole of the imaginaries that the night, in all its metaphorical multitude, is composed of. Known for its mysterious, chaotic reputation; for the messy thoughts and feelings that it brings with; for the creativity and expressivity that it unleashes, the night invites the viewer to co-create.
This film is the space for the exploration of the multiple ways of knowing and caring. It invites the viewer to explore the poetry of co-creation by experimenting with the ethnography of making. With our different disciplinary, cultural, and biosocial package, we invite the viewer to join us in exploring the poetry of "How can we co-create the matters we care about?"

This photo-story exhibition presents selected works from #lifeofthings #жизньвещей flashmob which collected the photographs and stories about things that became inseparable from their people. From prostheses to implants; from glasses to laptops; from vehicles to postcards. Photo-stories came from people from different cities across Russia, who were brave and honest to uncover their life of things.
This exhibition is a provocation and a space for collective thinking. As an essential part of the questions that it poses, we propose two public discussions within its framework:

button to Click (unfolding widget) In which way can dance and aesthetic movement enhance our observational and empathic skills? Can we articulate the pedagogy of flow, movement, and contact, when it comes to the human capacity to care? These are some of the questions that our new film project aims to tackle. Cannot say more just yet...but are already in love with this creation
