The HIDDEN SCHOOL aims to establish an (un- and re-) learning model for people affected by the historical consequences of colonial industrialisation and the death policies of the Ottoman Empire up to the present day. The project evolves as a slow travelling research group gathering at certain points in the Eastern Aegean, in the border regions between Greece (EU) and Turkey. A transnational group builds the projects' curriculum, focused on re- and de-construct histories of both the borderlands and the self. We will work on the becoming forms and formats for (un- and re-)learning sustainable cultural art practices in the region of the eastern Aegean and towards Mesopotamia. The founding participant artists, activists, cultural practitioners are Alper Şen, Angela Melitopoulos, Kerstin Schroedinger, Oktay Ince, Pelin Tan, Sofia Bempeza.
