Dismantle + Co-create

Gallatin Science Technology Arts + Creativity

Dismantle + Co-Create offers attendees a place for critical engagement with material culture at the intersection of technology and art.

You&#x27;re invited to the Dismantle + Co-create festival! This festival runs Friday, March 25 from 12-4 pm and Saturday, March 26 from 12-4 pm.On Friday, guest speakers will deliver flash talks that connect an aspect of critical theory to the theme of dismantling. We will have mediators present to help foster discussion around the act of “dismantling” as a political, social, and/or meditative act. Participants will physically dismantle objects during these flash talks and discussion periods. Objects can be anything from old calculators to wedding dresses to children&#x27;s toys from the 2000s. On Saturday, participants will then be challenged to use the pieces around them to create new objects. Speakers and guests will host workshops that connect aspects of critical theory to themes of community-building, world-envisioning, and co-creating. Workshops will include trash, craft, and eWaste; a generative writing workshop on erasure; and repurposing plastic bags into durable coin purses.Participants can attend a portion or the entirety of the day, and are encouraged to come and go as they like. Check out a list of speakers below, and the full schedule <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Mpa_FwJi-IeoaPrDgaltcwN9YBQZCf7d/view?usp=sharing" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">here</a>.Note on objects: Participants are encouraged to bring their own objects to be dismantled, but they are all subject to a safety check (nothing with screens, high voltage, risk of chemical leak, etc.) We will provide tools for dismantling and repurposing (screwdrivers, scissors, glue, etc.) as well as a collection of extra objects for those who need them.Location: we will be in-person at Gallatin (in Manhattan) and in-person at ITP (in Brooklyn). Participants are encouraged to join us at either location (or, try one location each day!). We will be broadcasting back and forth between the two locations so that all participants are linked, and so that anyone who would like to join remotely can do so. Note to the public: visitors from the public are not permitted into NYU buildings due to COVID-19 restrictions. We welcome the public to join the event via zoom!
