Carried in the aforementioned questions is the diversity of practices that interweave in this edition of the Bergen Assembly, convened by Ravi Agarwal, Adania Shibli, and the Bergen School of Architecture (BAS). These inquiries—some of which emerged through encounters in the Cross Course programmes already initiated by the convenors—invite you to join, expand upon, and carry them forward as you engage with the triennial’s upcoming programme. This edition will be experiential: a communal, living, and evolving process of artistic and knowledge formations through practices of sharing rather than showing.

How can we challenge pedagogy that flattens diverse worlds, cultural differences, forms of knowledge, engagement, and ways of being?”
