<divclass="details">
<p>At the moment we can't assume that we will be able to travel, cross borders, be together indoors, all things that were a given in the previous editions of Relearn. The material conditions of public moments of gathering come under scrutiny: the amount of energy, fuel, safety measures, etc. to make it possible with people coming from different places for a short amount of time.</p>
<p>
For the above reasons, this year's edition will take place in and focus on Rotterdam. We do not see this as a turn towards some purely localist vision. We still wish to summon the best of what Relearn can offer: an transnationalist perspective and a chance to experience new and old ideas. We aim to explore the importance of self-organisation and the use of experimental tools to build alternative systems and economies within the urban fabric of Rotterdam. </p>
<p>
We propose a focus on the materialities of the everyday. With this in mind we want to apply materialism as a methodology to different topics and places, tracing/mapping the roots of things, substances and material agencies that run through us in the everyday. We want to engage with modes of doing that deviate from the predominant Western mode of distancing the human from the material world.</p>
<p>
Some examples of directions in which this topic can go are: tracing the routes of food, the material aspects of internet infrastructure, ecological impact of daily choices</p>
<p>
We invite you to apply by sending a short 300 word motivation text to relearn2021@riseup.net in which you can explain more about why a particular topic interests you, and how do you imagine we could engage with it as a group throughout the 3 days of relearn.</p>
<p>
We also encourage you to share thoughts, ideas, references and images to our relearn 2021 anarchive. Find out more at relearn.be</p>

<pclass="question">What is the anarchive</p>
<p>Our "anarchive" can be defined in many ways. An autonomous place for the Relearn community to dialogue without words. As the traces of our collective thinking-out-loud. A collective warm up exercise familiar to the materialities of the everyday group chat. A clutter of information that is not the documentation of a past activity but of something that evokes the not yet known. An unhierarchical accumulation of images, documents and links to spark the tracks that perhaps will run through Relearn.</p>
