Public Hearing in the Matter of Imagination
The public hearing as a collective map of the limits of imagination and the possibilities of transcending them.
Menza Strahov, Jezdecká 1920, 160 17 Praha 6-Strahov
Our imagination stops to evolve after many interventions into the process of childhood exploration and expansion of the world from the side of adults and institutes of education. These factors, through the means of telling stories about how things are – what is normal and possible and what is not – are limiting our ability to perceive and create. As a side effect of these stories we are losing the ability to think about alternative scenarios and we are only accepting the pre-existing formulas of functioning. That is happening on many levels of our lives – in relation to how we clean our houses, scientific research, marital and other relationships, in political and social practice, in our free time.
The concept of Public Hearing can allow us to work with the topic of imagination trough the means of sharing short contributions: experiences, stories, and visions. These can be expressed through a large variety of verbal and non-verbal tools. Public Hearing tries to identify the borders of imagination or find surprising ways of how they can be crossed.
