Reka.si, which means "the river in you" in English, is a research and arts institute that unleashes the arts and its based techniques as innovative tools for participatory research and critical learning.
The institute brings an innovative methodology that unleashes the potential of performing arts and its based methods into the unlearning and learning process of knowledge that validates existing literature while opening new channels of knowledge and accreditation of information from within.
Under the legal frame of Reka.si we operate as The SIDE collective, cooking and cleaning politics, cultures, religions, and arts, is a collective that hacks, hijacks, and re-create cultural, artistic, religious, and political scenes from an intersectional feminist lens among its members are professional artists, researchers and activists. We also run a series of interactive art workshops and public performative journeys, "SAMA Community Arts".
We widen the horizons of intercultural communication and research on sustainability, migration and intercultural cooperation by integrating and using arts and its based techniques as innovative tools to unlearn and learn new means of knowledge generation and intercultural communication that is free of all forms of segregation and profiling.
We widen the horizons of intercultural communication and research on sustainability, migration and intercultural cooperation by integrating and using arts and its based techniques as innovative tools to unlearn and learn new means of knowledge generation and intercultural communication that is free of all forms of segregation and profiling.
Among our good practices are the following:
1. SAMA Community Arts: an interactive workshop and a public performative journey that generates new means of communication. The series of workshops has a trailer on YouTube. In the "SAMA Community Arts," the artist co-creates public performative journeys that deconstruct social communication as free of the enforced binarism of "nation-state" and "state-nation" as both tools and products of colonialism along with enforced gender binary profiling. Using dance, movement and performing arts as a communication form widens the horizon of intercultural communication through critical learning to unpack and unlearn stereotypes and profiling in communication.
2. NOT your Scheherazade, an experimental performance in the series of creating the 1001 nights of NOT your Scheherazade. The performance is participatory to create new stories of NOT your Scheherazade. after the performance, the audience shares anonymously through a digital tool their feedback of emotions, feelings and thoughts. The artist uses the feedback in their writing of the 1001 Nights of NOT your Scheherazade.
