    On 18th of March 2022 the working group of the Guerilla University and the former and current artists and researchers in residence at the Orangeries de Bierbais, met with the French philosopher Jacques Rancière at the Kulturakademiet in Paris. The gathering was initiated and organized by the PhD In One Night/ Laboratory for Radical Peace in residence at the Orangeries de Bierbais, in order to discuss the (Hypo)theses on Sensible Intelligence, a collective text consisting of 30 ideas/statements written by the residents, and inspired by the work of Jacques Rancière. This collective act of thinking and writing – putting the collective intelligence in practice – presents an attempt to reconfigure the private domain and historical English garden built in 1828 by the German/Dutch architect Charles-Henri Petersen (also the architect of the Botanical garden in Brussels, designed in 1830), a place envisioned and established under the colonial laws and regimes, now entering a new...

    Guerilla University is a temporary free territory, a jungle in the desert full of plants of the most incredible shape and pomegranates from which the world originated according to Kurdish mythology. Guerilla University is a  field of flowers in the desert and this imperfect garden that we are planting despite the decree of interdiction on plantation. Guerilla University is the sound of the inaudible. Guerilla University is the magic of the obvious, which reveals the treasures from the ordinary, just like Jean Painlevé's camera revealed to us the wonders of underground and hidden details in the common world. In temporary free territories, we learn from the present moment. Guerilla University is learning from the present. Guerilla University is connecting by simple available means. It is putting a postage stamp on letters to the unknowns at the time of fast communication, Guerilla University is sending a postcard from free temporary territory without exact address, Guerilla university is looking at stars without a telescope. Guerilla University in collaboration with Rojava University is a common learning of freedom.

    "What might the wind sound like among those leaves?" (2020) is a graphic score made by Dejana for the occasion of the happening in Guerilla University+Rojava University+people from different places' 3rd meeting session, a collaborative and communal thinking project initiated by People Coming from NowHere/PhD in One Night collective and project. The "sound objects" used in graphic score were derived from shapes found in images of Make Rojava Green Again (found on the blog defi-ecologique.com). The piece can be performed by merely imagining sound in one's head. But it can also be played (from imagined or experienced sounds) using any instrument and means available, by one or by multiple people. Or - as graphic performance for 9 people during an online meeting, as it was the case for the 3rd session that took place on December 30th, 2020.

    PhD In One Night participated with its film " Poems from which we learned" on the inauguration of South Bank University London, ACI Learning and Teaching Conference on 2020 Thursday 18th June - Friday 19th June "After the Digital"

    "Following the recent forced transition to off-campus delivery, the intended theme of this year’s Learning and Teaching Conference - After the Digital - appeared more relevant than ever. How do today’s students and academics navigate a digitally mediated landscape which we were all so critical about a few short months ago, yet which now seems to be impossible to survive beyond? How can inclusive practices be implemented and extended in relation to technologically enhanced or blended learning? What techniques, perspectives and opportunities have we found useful and interesting and would like to share?

    Opening event: Thursday 18th June, 14.00 – 16.00 Screening of film Poems from Which we Learned: fragments of learning through abstraction, by People Coming from NowHere. Panel discussion: Ivana Momcilović, Nina de Vroome, Leonardo Kovacević, Dejana Sekulić. Hosted by: Adam Brown . The word of organisers: "As an opening event for this year’s Learning and Teaching Conference, we are excited to present a screening of the film Poems from which we Learned, by the collective People Coming from NowHere. This 55 minute film will be followed by a panel discussion with its originators and producers, an interdisciplinary collective of artists, performers and academics. The film showcases the range of their ideas and projects, which occupy a space somewhere between education and art, and which draw on their shared experience of migration, Ranciere’s writing on intellectual egalitarianism, and a commitment to radical indisciplinarity."

    • Nick Nesbitt (Princeton University, Czech Academy of Sciences): ‘Poems From Which We Learned: Fragments on Self-Learning About the Sensible and Politics’
    I’d like to say a few words in reaction to Ivana Momcilovic’s wonderful new film ‘Poems From Which We Learned.’ This is only a contingent bricolage of sensations and improvised thoughts rebounding from a first viewing; every viewer will construct their own experience and understanding of this rich and complex film; every repeated viewing will itself serve to construct a new film, to discover unsuspected riches in its rich expanse.
    In the very first opening image, we see a quote from Darwin out of focus, and a hand passes before these words to gradually bring them in and out of focus. Already, we experience the imperative interrogation that will structure the filmic movement: what is it to know the idea(s) we already have, to see them clearly, to bring them into distinct focus? We must, Rancière tells us, take our true idea and link it to everything!

    • Erik S. Roraback (Charles University and F.A.M.U. International, Prague) on "Poems from Which we Learned"
    What is our situation today? Director Ivana Momčilović Poems from Which We Learned confronts head-on and imaginatively interrogates the complex deadlocks of our contemporaneity. Inspired by the work of Jacques Rancière on the sensible, on the common sensorium, on “the equality of intelligence" (Joseph Jacotot), on the problems of how to learn of how to teach and of how to shatter the traditional function and hierarchy of the teacher-pupil relationship, Momčilović´s picture offers new ways of thinking about these charged and fascinating spaces of thinking and questioning.

    • John Hill (an artist, organiser and educator based in Prague) about ‘Poems From Which We Learned: Fragments on Self-Learning About the Sensible and Politics’
    Holding moments together for a decade, as this film does, is possible because in these moments different times are co-present—a fact this film does not construct but reveals as an abstraction, one to be struggled with precisely because it neither precedes nor follows the things that happened and that we watch. When we make a soundtrack to a silent film, when we draw the audience watching, when we dance, of course, on a stage or in the street, when our camera finds another’s body, the response is not our own but belongs to—and is produced by—that moment, together with other moments, alone with other people.

    • On October 30th in Diplay, Prague, at 19:00 the premier of the film "Poems From Which We Learned". The film will be followed by a conversation of Ivana Momčilović with John Hill.

    • PhD In One Night and People Coming from NowHere are happy to announce first screenings of their film " Poems from which we learned"

    Researching sensorial amateur experiences in every day life, film Poems from which we learned- fragments on self-learning in sensible and politics ", presents a 10 years sensible cinematic archive of experimentations of one group and platform Phd In One Night- platform for aesthetic education for all, based in Brussels, Helsinki, Vis and working with Jacques Rancière and his ideas of equality and emancipation through aesthetics and indisciplinarity.

    The film is based on almost forgotten documentation material of the collective’s experiments that has been gathered through a decade via various haphazard and dramaturgicaly prepared interventions, as well as materials from the history of film – therefore the whole material has, in its treatments and its use, the appearance of found footage.

    Key words: aesthetic revolution, “poetics of knowledge”, aesthetic materialism, indisciplinarity, emancipation, equality.

    Thanks to all without whom this film would never be possible and specially (in alphabetical order): Marta Coronado, Nina De Vroome, Ljubomir Jakić, Ivana Momčilović, Liza Penkova, Jacques Rancière, Dejana Sekulić and several institutions among which Hiap, Helsinki and Academic Film Center Belgrade (AFC) of Students City Cultural Center Belgrade.

    Phd in One Night collective explores how learning can happen through art, what would be aesthetic education for all and is there still any emancipatory role left for the artist in the (capitalist) society. The collective collaborates with philosopher Jacques Rancière and has been inspired by his writings on the concept of indisciplinarity.

The participants of the course are invited to displace academic separations of genres, disciplines, and expertise to work with different aspects of knowledge, the methodological and magical. The course is an invitation for further reflections and actions on the topics of equality, emancipation, singular and common, objective and subjective, theory and practice, mobility in/and the immobility, placement, and displacement, “aesthetic revolution” “poetics of knowledge”, aesthetic materialism.
    The artists as educators, members of the Indisciplinary Symphony working group are Jacques Ranciére (philosopher, writer, gardener, educator), Marta Coronado (dancer, choreographer, movement researcher, educator), Ivana Momčilović (dramaturge, text researcher, poet, translator, editor, educator), Dejana Sekulić (violinist, sound explorer, performer, educator), Sergio Castrillón (sound researcher, cellist, composer, educator), Baran Caginli (visual artist, educator), Panos Balomenos (visual artist, costume designer, theatre/opera director, educator) and Gregoire Rousseau (visual artist, electronic engineer, educator).

    •Indisciplinary Symphony/
    Indisciplinary learning/ Finland, 2018
    Art as learning as art
    (towards collective intelligence)


    In the frame of the project Indisciplinary Symphony, Phd in One night intervenes in two courses of Finish language ( teacher Tiina Salmi) in Helsinki Sport High School -Mäkelänrinteen lukio in a school year 2017/2018.

    "Interdisciplinarity is defined by the dictionary as “the quality or fact of involving or drawing on two or more branches of knowledge”. It is a way of crossing the borders of disciplines that maintains those borders. It confirms the idea that each discipline defines a specific competence –  and, by the same token, a specific incompetence - so that the addition of these knowledges reproduces a world of knowledge structured by a multiplicity of forms of exclusion based on a fundamental separation between those who know and those who don’t know, those who think and those who don’t think. Since this separation was precisely my “object”, it is clear that I could not use that method."-  Jacques Rancière


    Finish Lesson ( Drama course ), teacher: Tiina Salmi ( 6.2-9.4. 2018 accent is in March) - "Grammar of the form”
    Faculty of Fantasy 1


    First part of the Phd in One Night intervention is proposed in collaboration with Anni Laakso, sculptor (http://www.annilaakso.net/) working on relation between production of space and sculpture production / and Ivana Momcilovic, dramaturge.
    The proposal for work: starting with the students on "translating" drama text ( Lesson -Eugène Ionesco) to the artistic work of sculpting the collective "classrom/ shelter" sculpture where at the end of course students played drama improvisations inside the sculpted space. Sculpture stays in the main hall of the school afterward.

    Second part of Phd in One Night intervention in Sport higshool is proposed in collaboration with Ivana Momcilovic dramaturge and Gregoire Rousseau (www.rousseau.fi) exploring the connections between sound/ silence/ words/ visual/abstract language/ concrete language in "theatre of sounds/ theatres of words" where the role of fiction is used in the primary sense: as "increase of rationality".
