Dear all, we are happy to invite you to our 9th event “IGNORANCE. The Power of Non-Knowledge” on September 30 and October 1, 2016.
The second event of the “Art & Evidence” series by Disruption Network Lab 2016 investigates the political, social and ethical dimensions of ignorance, manifested as different forms of what has been termed “non- knowledge”. It will shed light on how, why and when knowledge does not come to be, disappears or is suppressed, the possible advantages and disadvantages related to the creation or maintenance of ignorance and doubt, and how the underlying strategies and dynamics can be unveiled and unmade. Invited speakers are Mathias Gross (sociologist and science studies scholar, DE), Joanna Kempner (Sociologist, US), Jamie Allen (artist and researcher, CA/CH), Teresa Dillon (researcher, artist and educator, IE/DE), Karen Douglas (social psychologist, UK), Martin F.
