Poetics of Resistance – Discussion & Reading Group

How can art remain resistant when critique is continuously absorbed, neutralized, or suppressed? How can artistic action work politically besides the conventions of opposition?

Talking Poetics of Resistance is a monthly reading and discussion group exploring artistic and theoretical positions situated between aesthetics and life. We focus on artistic languages that are rather metaphorical than didactic; subtle, precise, and humorous interventions that generate political resonance without collapsing into slogans.

Each session brings together collective reading, discussion, and artistic work. We read key passages, debate central arguments, and relate them to concrete practices. Guiding questions accompany us: What makes a practice resistant? How does aesthetic or poetic form operate politically? Where can we locate the poetics of resistance today?
