TROJAN HORSE WINTER SCHOOL 2025
“Trans-local Social Organisms”
February 6–9, 2025
Kolari, Finland

*

The Trojan Horse Winter School arose from a desire to reflect on what it meant for collectives and situated practices to exist as networks across borders.

The winter school approached collective practices as social organisms and reflected on potential trajectories, research paths, and projects such organisms (Trojan Horse and others) could take in the coming year(s).

Structured as a seminar, the Winter School blended moments of learning and reflection—such as workshops and roundtable discussions—with outdoor activities and time for rest. How could care, degrowth, and sufficiency be embraced in creative practices? Which critical tools or approaches could be developed in order to explore alternative lifestyles? How could ethics be mobilized through the use of spatial, artistic, and speculative practices? How could different publics be engaged and trans-local networks maintained after the age of social media?
