Photo by Uliana Glagoleva This collaborative hybrid program combined a transdisciplinary training approach to post truth together with a collaborative residency finalising in a presentation as collective exhibition in the Galeria u Jezuitów Centrum Integracji Kulturalnej. These images show some images of the process materialising the exhibition.              Time for the materialisation of ideas. Out of the creation of ideas collaboratively, the execution of processes became parallel processes between some people involved taking the lead on some projects, others just executed by all participant artists and other different collaborative methods. From painting and sculpting to collective performance and social participatory investigation were the focus techniques of the group. This was the previous materialisation process before arriving to the exhibition space in Poznan where in a few days the work will be presented. More information about these processes will be shared in the publication of projects.            The time for creating ideas to materialise collaboratively began, the following spaces of discussion and formulation of ideas were frames of developing responses to the topic post truth. What would make sense to communicate? What kind of ideas began to be alive during this process? What were points of confluence in the common interest? What are the available tools and techniques we can apply?      The third day of the collaborative residency the program shifted from mostly discussions towards hands on active engagement. The field trip to the museum Centrum Edukacji Regionalnej Kasztelanii Ostrowskiej was the trigger where participants had the experience to be guided throughout the museum but also the period of time when this territory began to be Poland as historical archives recorded. This museum contains not only some buildings with archeological finds and history but also an island in the middle of a lake. The water of this lake preserved all those objects that can tell this story today. After the explanatory walk, participant artists had the space to intervene from the island. This invitation to generate ephemeral artistic gestures, connecting with post truth in connection to this context, was the first active attempt to create together. Collaborations arose from this space as artists had some ideas with the task on how to execute an artistic gesture in the public space which enabled them to interact, build and perform together on the island. More information about those works will be in the final publication of the project.            The first part of Post Truth countering misinformation narratives focuses on transdisciplinary research on the topic post truth, this process designed and conducted by Seila Fernández Arconada offered a ground for understanding the topic, opening up conversation but also allowing participants to “get lost” in a vast complex phenomenon as the post truth era is. From local to global, from reality to imagination, from personal stories to global media stories, the growing problem of post truth with the fake news and social manipulation started to become more tangible for participants creating more questions to enrich the process. This ground of individual realities and transdisciplinary views was the first step on creating a common ground that was key in order to create a meaningful and deep reflective ground for collaborative creation. Meanwhile, participants are living together with the team in the project space Patria (Skrzetuszwo, Poland), which allows closer connections, getting to know each other from personal to professional interests. During the artist’s hub each participant artist introduce their art practices to the rest, as an ongoing process to learn from each other.
