Positioned as a temporary “social school,” this summer presentation transforms the museum into a space of ongoing training, where education, performance, and artistic practice overlap through a series of participatory workshops led by more than 40 local and international artists. Rather than presenting works as fixed objects, the project unfolds through physical exercises, craft-based sessions, and collective learning formats—from boxing and textile weaving to experimental group activities and storytelling sessions—inviting visitors to actively engage with ideas of discipline, embodiment, and shared knowledge. Inspired by collective education models such as youth cultural centers, the program reimagines learning as an open-ended process of “training, retraining, and de-training,” where the boundaries between teacher and participant, artwork and classroom, are continuously blurred into a fluid, evolving social practice.
