SALZ. TON. GRANIT.: Collective Ways of Disagreeing
Open format with participatory role-play and screenings
with Aleksandra Saša Jeremić, Charlotte Kremberg, Silvio Kull, Patrick Neugebauer, Eileen Raddatz, Philip Rudzinski, Valerija Rutz, Ricarda Scheringer, Anna Witt
The performative role-playing game Collective Ways of Disagreeing is inspired by the idea of an action camp and is based on a research engagement in and beyond the Gorleben Archive with the anti-nuclear movement in the Wendland region. It explores forms of civil resistance against the planned construction of a nuclear repository and reprocessing plant near Gorleben. Through various stations, participants and visitors are invited to experiment with performative scenarios that explore aspects of self-organization and collectivization. The role-playing game focuses on skills for collective action and conflict management, which are central to resistance movements. Our central question is: How can we conceptualize the sense of agency of a collective body, and how can we translate its possibilities from an abstract idea into a physical experience?
