Program

BAK programming combines the artistic, experiential, theoretical, and political so as to imagine and enact transformative ways, with and through art, of being together otherwise. BAK’s current research trajectory Propositions for Non-Fascist Living (2017–ongoing) is prompted by the dramatic resurfacing and normalization of fascisms, historical and contemporary. BAK organizes exhibitions, lectures, publications, workshops, and composite performative conferences with exhibitionary, discursive, and performative elements.

Shapeshifting Sports Camp

Shapeshifting Sports Camp proposes an inclusive physical education program for schools. It features a series of collective exercises and alternative team sport games to promote empathy and social inclusion. During the training, participants play games that Gabriel Fontana developed in collaboration with Rotterdam-based schools, sport teachers, and their pupils. Composed of new tools, rules, transformable uniforms, and alternative sport fields, the games play around fluid identities. Players are invited into situations where they change teams halfway through the game or where they don’t know at all to which team they belong.
