In the first days of the course there will be an introductory phase on the relationship between arts and cities, between arts and nomadism, on the practices conducted by Francesco Careri together with Stalker in Rome in the last twenty years. Then the peripatetic phase will begin, through long, aimless walks, with the intention of consciously get lost in the city. At this stage there will be some rules to follow: we don’t walk on sidewalks or asphalt; we can never go back; we don’t believes in private property; but above all: who waste time gain space. We will try to stay behind the built city, along the margins and borders, to reconstruct a unitary thread to the fragments of separate cities in which we live. But we will proceed in a cross-eyed way, towards a goal and towards what diverts it from the goal, disposing itself to road accidents, to the possibility of stumbling and of making a mistake. We will try to take the city by surprise, indirectly, sideways, playful, non-functional, to stumble into unexplored territories where new questions arise. Students will be asked to try to look at reality "with their heads under their legs", to overturn their points of view, to produce places through their actions, to transform their own living spaces with material and immaterial interventions, to find new ways to tell them.

Programme
The aim of the course is the exploration and re-appropriation of the city through the arts. It will take place entirely in the urban space using walks, performative actions, installations. The Course teaches us to get lost, to recognize the arts of discovery, of the encounter with the Other. It proposes walking as a research method, with the intent to reactivate in the students and in the inhabitants their innate capacity for creative transformation of the space in which they live, to remind them that they have a body and the desires with which they can modify it.In the first days of the course there will be an introductory phase on the relationship between arts and cities, between arts and nomadism, on the practices conducted by Francesco Careri together with Stalker in Rome in the last twenty years.

Type of delivery of the course
It is an entirely peripatetic course organized in walks of urban exploration, with the intention of lost consciously in the city, through some rules: we don’t walk in the sidewalks or in the asphalt; we can never go back; who waste time gain space. The course is for only 25 students selected through a motivation’s letter sent to the teacher by mailAttendance
Attendance is required for at least 75% of the lessonsType of evaluation
The course is concluded with a examination through the realization of an opera. The modalities will be decided at the end depending of the types of the spaces we met, and the quality of the experience. Actions will be organized for the reterritorialization of knowledge through exhibitions, convivial moments, presentation of the works. The final exam is a verification of common experience and individual learning that took place during the course. The quality of participation in the course and the walks, the interventions and actions of territorial transformation, the quality of the post-production materials, the originality and the coherence of the aesthetic synthesis work will be evaluated.
