Following the course ‘Intervention on Equality and Aesthetics of Knowledge’ that took place at Academy of Fine Art Helsinki in the frame of ‘Phd in One Night’ research, a public gathering will take place at HIAP Suomenlinna with the participants of the course and a group of researchers departing from French philosopher Jacques Rancière’s thesis on equality: music education (post)doctoral group from the Sibelius Academy and ArtsEqual project researchers (research initiative, coordinated by the University of the Arts Helsinki, examining the arts as public service, with equality as the starting point). The programme will be concluded with a cinephil moment followed of commentaries by Jacques Ranciére.

This will be the very first visit of Jacques Rancière to Finland and a great opportunity for all interested participants to exchange in vivo with him.

The 3-week course ‘Intervention on Equality and Aesthetics of Knowledge” originates from Rancière’s ‘method of equality’ – especially from the parts dealing with issues of emancipation and education – as well as from his writings on aesthetics and poetics of knowledge.

The public presentation will consist of fragments, moments, and translation rehearsals of (im)possible concepts based on Rancière’s “poetics of knowledge” that have emerged in the “working cell” of the course as an open class: equality, emancipation, education, knowledge, art as knowledge, dislearning-learning, collective intelligence, the role of knowledge in a capitalist society.

Discussion, poetry, electricity-sculpture, musical articulations, other various researches on *common sensorium* and non-finito form will be part of a singular “knowledge translation” process resulting from the collective research.
