There is a certain urgency of doing this programme now. We need to rethink and practise such things as comradeship, the specifics of decolonial development, applied post-Soviet hauntology, antifascist politics and relations between body and territory.

The work of the laboratory consists of a series of collective and individual research, publication and exhibition projects which involve local and international communities.
