OCTOBER SCHOOL Moving Beyond Collapse: Reimagining Institutions

21.10.2025. - 25.10.2025. / Otok Vis

Moving beyond the current institutional collapse, happening everywhere from democracy and education to the world’s leading international organizations, is it possible to re-imagine – and establish – institutions as open, democratic, egalitarian, self-organized, local and transnational? Could the institutions that we see getting more and more deprived of power and influence, abandoned, silenced and humiliated by political and economic powers, be re-imagined and re-built, before getting completely dismantled and erased? While techno-feudalists are building secret refuges on hidden islands, the Island School of Social Autonomy (ISSA), along with the Museum of Contemporary Art in Zagreb and the Museum of the Commons – a network of museums and cultural institutions united in the L'internationale – launches an October School on the island of Vis in Croatia. Through the intersection of the main thematic threads of Museum of the Commons – Climate or environmental sustainability; Situated organizations or how art institutions can become spaces of inclusion and diversity; and The past in the present, addressing history and heritage as tools for social justice, the island will become a case study for writers, historians, theoreticians, activists, artists, curators and researchers, on how to envision the future amidst and after ongoing catastrophes and genocides. With Adania Shibli, Kristin Ross, Robert Perišić, Saša Savanović, Srećko Horvat, Marko Pogačar, Zdenka Badovinac, Bojana Piškur, Theo Prodromidis, Ovidiu Ţichindeleanu, Progressive International, Naan-Aligned cooking, and others
