Semi-True Interpretation of Fictionality (Series) 2024-03-19 event interpretation, fictionality semi-true-interpretation-fictionality en 2024-03-23 19:00 2h /images/20240224_094932.jpeg This is the first of three installments wherein we would love to collectively explore 'fictionality'. Coming from fiction, becoming adjective and then noun again, what could fictionality mean? Why and how does this notion continue to be relevant in our contemporary times of post-truth, post-facts and widespread anecdotal questioning of scientific knowledge? What kind of imaginary power does fictionality have? And how could engaging with the porous space between fiction and non-fiction help to envision other kinds of presents and futures?

What kind of imaginary power does fictionality have? And how could engaging with the porous space between fiction and non-fiction help to envision other kinds of presents and futures?

Together we want to delve into these topics, working towards an extended tool box of how fictionality could be useful in various (art) practices. You can expect an informal gathering for conversations, reading text excerpts and engaging in little exercises. We will prepare some snacks and there will be drinks as well.
