Event overview
Teresa Cisneros and Laurence Rassel in conversation
In this session, we look at the implications of Institutional Analysis for contemporary institutions. A conversation between Laurence Rassel -who has drawn from Institutional Psychotherapy, cybernetics and feminism to radically re-formulate an art school in Brussels - and Teresa Cisneros - who - informed by feminist, anti-colonial practice, is currently working on reconstructing systems towards forms of transformational and institutional justice at the Wellcome Collection - will tease out the possibilities and blockages of IA in the present.
