Let's stop or
let's begin with the dual nature of the word institution. On the one hand, its creative movement, proper to institute, to
found, to establish, is put forward by the present participle of the verb, which names the movement: it is the instituting.
On the other hand, the past participle of the same verb comes to designate the result of a creative movement. The instituted
is what has crystallized, frozen, established. Alienation occurs when the instituted takes precedence over the institution/instituting.
Can hospitality, feminism, conversation, together with open source principles be terms of engagement, terms of dialogue of
back-and-forth exchanges and transformations with/in the institution?
I will share stories, experiences, questions and
practices as I was/am looking for a collective engagement, a collective experience, to reach something like a common understanding
: institutions matter as spaces of encounter, creativity, possibility, risk.
