POLITICS OF THE SMALL ACT
A Call for Action at the Intersection of Artistic and Civic practices
international workshop – action space – research blog

4-14 October 2012
Museum of Contemporary Art Leipzig (D)

The initiative „politics of the small act“ invites 34 international actors
(activists, artists, curators) from 13 countries to Leipzig for a two-day
workshop at the intersection of artistic and socio-political
discourses. With presentations, discussions, working groups and dinner
debates, the event focuses on „small acts“ - micro-strategies of
self-empowerment and self-organisation - as potential tools to induce
social and/or political change. It explores different forms of intervention
in the social fabric and maps artistic and civic strategies in the context
of small acts.
The workshop takes recent socio-political developments in Hungary as its
point of departure. It understands the strongly criticised and arguably
anti-democratic policymaking of the current Hungarian government not as an
isolated, local phenomenon, but as part of longer term transformation
processes, in a broader, regional and European context. It strives to
create a temporary platform for strategic encounters and exchange between
international actors and through its focus on Hungary fosters collective
and collaborative knowledge production, potentially also relevant to other
socio-political contexts.
