Shuffle the framework. TOC_Centre’s case history about retroactive collaborations and forms of critical pedagogies

Abstract

Last autumn TOC-Centre opened its doors to forty students of Department of Architecture Federico II in Naples (DiARC) and launched an open call for an ambitious project: setting up the first edition of Shuffle Screening Festival in Copertino - Salento, South Italy - and spreading temporary “parasites” in different areas of this baroque city, in spaces with distinct urban and architectural vocations. The call translated its actions into two multidisciplinary workshops (winter and summer school) with the aims to allow students to experience new forms of knowledge and to implement the cultural usability of public space. Planned for the spring 2019 Shuffle Screening Festival will be a path of performative actions in public space able to connect design and moving images thanks to contributions of interdisciplinary and widespread team that involves artists, curators, designers, independent cultural associations, students and local community.
