invitation to circle and harvest
invitation to circle and harvest
14:00 19 Nov. 2022
part of “Connective practices in community-integrated arts, nature- and tradition-based learning and care, across the divisions of Cyprus” developed for the Artistic Connective Practices Symposium, Fontys University Tilburg,
facilitated by Chrystalleni Loizidou and Hülya Dede
In the beginning there is flow. There is the “being in the rhythms of nature”, the “being in social connection”, with uninterrupted experimentation and creativity, the feeling of the elements and the seasons, the observing and the doing, the running and climbing and picking fruit and making shelter, and getting sand between your toes. There is the joy and gratitude of harvest. But then the care-work that reproduces the “being in the rhythms of nature” is imprisoned by top-down notions of education and productivity. These impositions dominate the doing and life, so they separate us from the flow and our rhythms. Being and doing are turned into work and people into things. Thus the world is crazy, and revolts are practices of rediscovering connection and rhythm.

Presentation Title: “the First Device:” a utopian re-enchantment towards technological recovery [Chrystalleni Loizidou] Participation in the 21st Conference of the Utopian Studies Society Europe (10 – 12 Dec) http://utopian-studies-europe.org/conference/
Description: Leading medical organisations advise against screen-time during the first years of life, yet children are exposed to parents’ mobile-devices and screen-media consumption-patterns from birth. Growing digital distrust ranges from criticisms of exploitative and profit-driven industrial standards, to warnings about the dominance of cranky social media, and to investigations into the behaviour of machine-learning algorithms that present little eyes with a vast, absurdist, memetic informational singularity with unpredictable and alienating psychological and developmental effects. In the middle of this, tech-professionals are increasingly choosing low-tech or tech-free, outdoor schools for their children. This project catalyses a trope of a utopian “First Device” to imagine a different path for our future. It begins by drawing a connection between Silvia Federici’s feminist politics of technology production, Luiz Guilherme Vergara’s Freirean proposal of a para-laboratory for forest-school thinking, and Richard Stallman’s Four Freedoms for software development. It asks questions like: How can tech-free education practices inform the field of information ethics and child-computer interaction research? How do our primary encounters with high technology shape and direct the mind? What should be the character and purpose of the first information device we give to our young? How would it apply our best findings regarding learning, development, and creativity? How would it be meaningfully open-ended? How would it empower free, self-directed learning? How might such a tool redefine humanity’s approach to technology and to our world, away from exploitation, towards what Charles Eisenstein calls a new story of interdependence and connection? This project picks up from the results of the international “Free/Libre Technologies, Arts and the Commons” Unconference (Cyprus, 2019).

Nicosia, December 10-31st: It takes a village to raise a child + How to dress for the end of the world, by Astrid Johnson and the Eimaste Parents Cooperative
“It takes a village to raise a child + How to dress for the end of the world by Astrid Johnson and the Eimaste Parents Cooperative” is a unifying ode and a last stand. We forage, make things out of natural materials, upcycle, skillshare, sell, exchange and invite cooperation towards a different way of taking care of our common needs, our environment and our children: frugally, naturally, and freely. www.eimaste.net
To “Χρειάζεται χωριό για να μεγαλώσει ένα παιδί + Πως να ντυθείτε για το τέλος του κόσμου από την Astrid Johnson και τον Συνεργατισμό Γονέων Είμαστε” είναι μια ωδή για ένωση και τελική αντίσταση. Αναζητούμε τροφή, φτιάχνουμε πράγματα από φυσικά υλικά, επαναχρησιμοποιούμε, πωλούμε, ανταλλάσσουμε και προσκαλούμε συνεργασία προς έναν διαφορετικό τρόπο φροντίδας των κοινών μας αναγκών, του περιβάλλοντος και των παιδιών μας: λιτά, φυσικά, και ελεύθερα. www.eimaste.net

The Eimaste Parents Cooperative is a nature-focused community-building initiative, connecting people and families whose needs are not quite met by the local extended-family support system (e.g. single parent homes, homeschooling or unschooling families interested in skill-sharing, families in transition from abroad, families of children with additional needs), especially during lockdowns and isolation. The Eimaste Parents Cooperative has been providing support in the alternative education community island-wide while coordinating regular offerings that cultivate solidarity, mutual assistance, and an extended notion of kinship.
The Eimaste Parents Cooperative is part of Eimaste, a rogue artist residency project made up of various locations around Cyprus, with an emphasis on engaged and restorative artistic practices of freedom, community, and co-presence. Since 2018 eimaste has been growing into a network of places to gather in spontaneous symposia, to write / compose cures for political illusions, establish software freedom, eat green food, dance and tell stories in circles, go for walks, and be together to thank and celebrate life. Eimaste receives people to be in kitchens and gardens, to travel the island together, and to play and work with children and animals. An energetic place for creation and to exercise living together. Eimaste connects a broad network of [recovering] educators across fields and different kinds of institutions in a tender deconstruction of pedagogic and schooling practices, and free play.
Astrid Johnson is a dressmaker, puppet-maker, and contemporary artist drawing inspiration from nature. “How to dress for the end of the world:” Artist’s dress and woodwork collection. Corsets, dresses, jackets, blouses and small sculpture accessories, created in the artist’s personal vision of the steampunk aesthetic. A painter contemplating the organic fluidity of contemporary times as reflected in nature-inspired forms of steampunk.
Christina Tsene: I grew up in Athens and learned to appreciate anything not related to the big city systems. My educational and working background is around interior design. My love for nature sent me to another round of studies in Germany for “Environmental and Resources management”. I am the mother of a 5 year old boy and consciously searching for ways to be a present, positive and open minded parent and companion. I am interested in helping people to build communication with their living spaces. In assisting them to curate essential, fulfilling and healing spaces using mostly what they already have, minimizing the use of natural resources.
Lital + Vinas fell in love while picking artichokes at a Peace in the Middle East festival and have been together since. They arrived in Cyprus as asylum seekers and spent their first year in homelessness, living outdoors and honing a natural and radically minimal way of life.
Chrystalleni Loizidou: My core skill-set has had to do with care and the study of creativity (curation, education through art, and a PhD in Cultural Studies focusing on public art and conflict resolution). This means that I am sensitive to the beauty and meaning around me, of the potential for community connection or discord, and of sound ways to support and help groups flourish. I have previously applied myself to developing and coordinating big and small internationally funded projects, teaching visual literacy, design history, and cultural studies courses at different universities, setting up cooperative community projects with a focus on libre technologies and participatory art, and organising hackathons and unconferences to connect technologists, makers, and artists. Since the birth of my son, I have been retraining in care work and early years pedagogy. I model and cultivate in myself what I’d like to have around me: versatile design and making-skills, emotional intelligence and non-violent communication, community through sharing, music, dance, and connection with nature through cultivation and respectful foraging. I am also always working on writing, which I see as a world-building, transformational craft.
Erika Wieser: I am a Kindergarten Teacher since 1978. Two years working in the Linz Tobacco Factory Kindergarten in Upper Austria showed me that I didn’t know anything about “difficult children” and that I had to continue my education. I went to Vienna for the next two years to complete the school for children with disabilities and then worked for the next 3 years in Christoph Lesigang’s outpatient department for children with multiple disabilities. Professor Lesigang was an excellent anthroposophic doctor for children and I was lucky to learn a lot from his behavior with children and parents. I worked with the children and gave advice to the parents. After the wonderful years in Vienna I came by accident to Greece where I fell in love with my husband Dimitris Papaioannou, a painter of Byzantine icons. When we came back to Austria, I worked for the next 10 years with children with severe disabilities in a dedicated kindergarten. In 1994 my daughter Myriam came to this world and changed my life. In 1996 I started studying Waldorf Education in Vienna which lasted 3 years, completing my final thesis on the subject of the tactile sense. For 5 years I was special assistant in the two Waldorf Kindergartens in Linz for children with additional needs, and finally, 13 years before my retirement, I started and led a natural Kindergarten on a farm focusing on Waldorf Education. Beside my work I taught for 10 years Basal Stimulation for Kindergarten teachers for children with additional needs. For three years I was working with adolescents with very difficult childhoods and trauma from the war in Bosnia. I am a trainer of health gymnastics since 1985. I am a beekeeper since 2005. Now I am in pension and I am lucky to do what I like most: to share my experiences.
Open Scores is an online and offline interactive platform, created as a response to increasingly hostile and often regressive social environments, modes of thinking and interacting. Open Scores organises and curates discussion groups which are called in assembly and in communion in order to engage with aspects of the self and of society which inadvertently progress and move forward. The constant evolution of the individual and collective psyche is an indisputable fact and undeniable cornerstone of human history and society. Open Scores facilitates this evolution by bringing into light seemingly “tough” personal and social issues and matters which often revolve around relationships, sexuality, spirituality, various catalysts of the human mind and body, the structural manifold of society and the inherent and evolved conditions through which human beings inter-operate with themselves and their environment.

_________
Our program is cooperatively developed to meet the needs of families interested in Waldorf-Steiner education, alternative, democratic, and community education, and to address gaps in conventional schooling.
Our program is motivated by trust in each child’s wonder in the world and their innate desire to learn through imitation and self-directed free play. It builds on our understanding of their remarkable ability to learn from each other, and the desire to offer them a wide range of emotionally connected activities, in a natural environment, led by mindful and attentive instructors. We work to hold a space of safety and belonging, to create the right conditions for both free and supported learning, full of rich opportunities for stimulation and development.
We believe in the educational advantages of multilingual and multicultural learning environments, and we encourage each of our instructors and parent participants to also introduce material in their mother tongues. Our present team richly communicates in Greek, English, and Russian. For our afternoon program especially, we implement a daily rhythm that allows for mixed age groups as much as possible, prioritising education of the head, hands and heart, emotional literacy, closeness with nature, and seasonal traditions and customs.

Co-op Debates: Ανοικτή Συνεργασία – Η Ανάγκη της Περίστασης
Η “Ανάγκη της Περίστασης” είναι οποιοδήποτε γεγονός/κατάσταση, προσωπική και γενική που χρήζει άμεσης αντιμετώπισης. Είναι η πρακτική ιεράρχηση αναγκαίων δράσεων.
Σε ατομικό επίπεδο, η διαβίωση χαρακτηρίζεται από τρεις βασικές δράσεις που βρίσκονται συνεχώς σε λειτουργία – την ανάγκη της τροφής, την ανάγκη της στέγασης και την ανάγκη της ένδυσης.
Όταν αυτές οι τρεις βασικές ανάγκες καλυφθούν πλήρως, τότε αυτό που απομένει είναι η “Ανάγκη της Περίστασης” δηλαδή οποιαδήποτε ανάγκη δημιουργηθεί, είτε από το άτομο, είτε από το περιβάλλον του που πρέπει απαραίτητα να καλυφθεί για να μπορεί το άτομο να λειτουργήσει.
Προφανώς εάν μια από τις τρεις βασικές δράσεις/ανάγκες δεν είναι εκπληρωμένη, τότε γίνεται αυτή η “Ανάγκη της Περίστασης”. Εάν κάποιο άτομο διαθέτει τροφή και ένδυση αλλά δεν διαθέτει στέγαση, τότε για το άτομο αυτό πρωταρχική ανάγκη (Ανάγκη της Περίστασης) είναι να στεγαστεί.
Σε γενικό επίπεδο, δηλαδή στο επίπεδο οργάνωσης μιας μεγάλης ομάδας ατόμων που κινούνται προς ένα συγκεκριμένο σκοπό – την διαβίωση τους, τότε η “Ανάγκη της Περίστασης” θα είναι οτιδήποτε χρειάζεται – ανά βαθμό σημαντικότητας, για να μπορεί η ομάδα αυτή να λειτουργήσει σωστά.
Παράδειγμα: Η Ανοικτή Συνεργασία οφείλει να προβλέψει πρώτα για τις τρεις βασικές ανάγκες των μελών της – τροφή, στέγαση, ένδυση. Αυτές οι τρεις βασικές δράσεις/ανάγκες ορίζονται σαν “Ανάγκες της Περίστασης” αφού τίποτα άλλο δεν μπορεί να επιτελεστεί μέχρι να καλυφθούν αυτά τα ζητήματα. Αφού λοιπόν καλυφθούν αυτές οι ανάγκες τότε η “Ανάγκη της Περίστασης” θα είναι οτιδήποτε χρήζει, λογικά και συναισθηματικά, προσοχής. Στην περίπτωση που όλα τα μέλη της Συνεργασίας διαθέτουν τροφή, στέγη και ένδυση, “Ανάγκη της Περίστασης” είναι να δημιουργηθούν υποδομές υγείας και να υπάρχει στο σύνολο κάποιος/κάποιοι γιατροί. Γιατί είναι αυτό απαραίτητο; Γιατί να οριστεί αυτό σαν “Ανάγκη της Περίστασης”; Διότι αυτονόητα εάν το σύνολο νοσήσει, δεν θα μπορεί να υπάρξει και η Συνεργασία.
Το να αναγνωριστεί ποια είναι η “Ανάγκη της Περίστασης” σε κάθε στιγμή είναι πάρα πολύ απλό. Δεν χρειάζεται κάποιος ειδικός επί του θέματος, δεν χρειάζεται κάποιος “αρχηγός” για να καθοδηγήσει, δεν χρειάζεται κάποιος “ηγέτης” που θα αποφασίσει. Η “Ανάγκη της Περίστασης” είναι πάντα αυταπόδεικτα ξεκάθαρη για κάθε άτομο, σε προσωπικό επίπεδο, και για κάθε σύνολο σε γενικό επίπεδο.
Παράδειγμα: Οργανώνοντας τις υποδομές της Ανοικτής Συνεργασίας, και αφού έχει βεβαιωθεί ότι όλοι διαθέτουν τροφή, στέγαση και ένδυση, μπορεί να τεθεί το ερώτημα, τι άλλο χρειάζεται, τι άλλο επείγει για να γίνει. Η απάντηση και πάλι είναι απλή και δεν χρειάζεται σωρεία επιτροπών με κουστωδίες ειδικών για να αποφασίσουν. Μπορεί κάποιο μέλος της Συνεργασίας να προτείνει πως αυτό που χρειάζεται τώρα η Συνεργασία είναι ένα Λουνα Παρκ. Σας ακούγεται αυτό, στο παρόν στάδιο, λογικά και συναισθηματικά ορθό; Φυσικά και όχι. Θα ήταν παράλογο κάποιος να σπαταλήσει πόρους, χρόνο και ενέργεια για να κτίσει ένα Λούνα Παρκ. Στην περίπτωση αυτή η “Ανάγκη της Περίστασης” μας δείχνει ποια θα ήταν η σωστή δράση: το να κτιστεί ένα Ιατρείο. Το σύνολο της Ανοικτής Συνεργασίας μπορεί να λειτουργήσει χωρίς Λούνα Παρκ για απεριόριστο χρόνο, αλλά δεν μπορεί να λειτουργήσει χωρίς κάποιο Ιατρείο, χωρίς να βεβαιώσει πώς τα μέλη του συνόλου θα έχουν την δυνατότητα Ιατροφαρμακευτικής περίθαλψης. Αυτή είναι λοιπόν η “Ανάγκη της Περίστασης”, αυτό που κάθε στιγμή και ανά τις περιστάσεις επιβάλλεται για να γίνει.
