Inhalte	How to approach art & life to create sustainable ecosystems and to better our lives? We will address that question practice centred and case-oriented. Jatiwangi art Factory (JaF) is internationally well-known for its contemporary art, its Music Triennale, tv and radio stations etc. Currently, together with the Majalengka district government, JaF runs the long-term project Terracotta City. Through discussing the Terracotta Universe City, we will address art & eco-materials, art & policymaking, art & politics, and action & research together with JaF and guests. The ten-days Praxisseminar includes on- and offline sessions with close readings, media-rich activities, workshops, talks, individual and group work. Each day will start with a close reading session,* followed by a workshop and – in the afternoons — talks and discussions. *We will be reading documents from the Terracotta Universe and Franz Kafkas Story «The Metamorphosis», https://www.doppeltext.com/en/bilingual-books/132/kafka-die-verwandlung/german-english (tap on the text to see the translation) as well as Ovid's «Metamorphoses», classics.mit.edu/Ovid/metam.1.first.html.
