As part of their residency in the frame of the ‘Institution(ing)s’, the collective Apparatus 22 presents ‘Will you keep the lighthouse bright?’ This activity consists in three public moments, and it unfolds beyond the collective’s ongoing research in Lisbon, opening itself to visitors through a shared experience. Combining video and a questionnaire, the project invites reflection not only on ongoing political turmoil or everyday personal struggles, but also on what lies ahead: what new futures might begin to shimmer into view? 

In the Reading Room, visitors are invited to take part in a collective exercise of self-evaluation: how do you relate to utopia? Ultimately, ‘Will you keep the lighthouse bright?’ is an invitation to move beyond observation towards agency. Together, perhaps, we can keep the lighthouse bright as a way to envision futures and bring them into being.

The activity will be conducted in English.
