Beirut announces the launch of the Imaginary School Program. Twelve participants from diverse backgrounds have been selected via an open call to join the program from October 2014 to May 2015. The curriculum puts its pulse to cultural practices and theories across disciplines to zoom in on various forms of instituting and organizing, with emphasis on the landscape that Cairo offers.

Over the duration of eight months, the program provides space for reflection and critical thinking around radical institution-building with the aim to collectively understand how institutions can manifest and articulate their political potential. Content and contributions will be curated in three modules by political theorist Amr Abdelrahman, artist and activist Jasmina Metwaly, and the team of Beirut.

With: Ahmed Refaat, Alia Ayman, Catherine Ermakova, Ebshoy Magdy, Habiba Effat, Mariz Kelada, Nada Riyadh, Nada El Shazly, Sama Waly, Soad Abo Ghazey, Soheir Abaza, Youssef Ramez
