Upcoming: The fifth edition of Ecologies of Emancipation – Imminent horizon: fascism or imperialism?
ro /
Organizational work of the fifth edition of the Ecologies of Emancipation summer school has begun. The school will take place at the hypha_etc campsite in Câmpu Cetății, between 10-16 August 2025.
The latest political and geopolitical developments, local and global, seem to confront us with a threatening double horizon: an accelerated slide towards fascism, or an equally precipitous retreat into imperialism - with all the overlaps, complicities and continuities between them. On the one side, then, a European democratic establishment that can only articulate its immediate future by renouncing the last remnants of a distributist state and democratic appearances, in a general arms race that promises nothing but authoritarianism and austerity at home, and devastating inter-imperialist conflicts on a global scale. On the other side, a populist insurgent bloc with deep roots and complicity in the very systems and apparatuses of Euro-Atlantic democracies, which is no longer shy in displaying its assumed fascism, and which promises, just as grimly, a harsh regime of austerity and authoritarianism at home, coupled with an equally provocative and bellicose attitude abroad, only in the name of a different set of values.

Questions of the political have been engaged within artistic practice and wider art systems with increasing intensity in recent decades. At the same time we seem to be witnessing radical upheaval in the actualities of everyday political cultures, locally, nationally, and internationally. We are faced with a challenge to consider, that given the rapidity of wider transformations, are these forms of engagement – these strategies, ways of proceeding, operating principles across art and the political – adequate to these changed conditions? And where do we approach these questions from?
