Values

CAMP's curation is based on these values:
  • Gravitied between the marvelous and the real.
    Corporeal
    productions remind you of the full spectrum and multiplicity of human experience; exploring layers and dimensions of the self and the different kinds of interactions you can have. Favoured happenings are unsacred original (or reimagined) systems of knowledge : instead of re-teaching a familiar modality, maybe make a
    Break down, absorb, mutate.
    metabolisation
    that is new, yours, …
    'The action in which a person brings something into being that did not exist before.' Poiesis is etymologically derived from the ancient Greek term ποιεῖν, which means 'to make.'

    Inclusion
     : persons of any identity or expression are welcome in CAMP, and Zipolite.
  • Healthy and unhealthy power dynamics within workshops and teaching spaces.
    Transparency and consent
     : this is a setting for safe(r) trainings, happenings, and workshops.
  • Renaming a metabolisation of ancient systems of knowledge may transmit sufficient integrity.
