“For a Justice to Come”, June 2025

“For a Justice to Come” is a bi-annual Summer School for artists, curators, designers, and others whose work engages with the aesthetics of imagination. Its thematic framework is grounded in the work of French philosopher Jaques Derrida, who argued that justice must remain an idea that haunts and decentres the institutions that claim to arbitrate it. Derrida’s notion of justice does not and will not emerge from allegiance to established centres of power. 

A key component guiding the Summer School is to hold it in locations based on participating researchers’ fields. In 2025, the School will be held in and around Marseille, France with a walking trip in Walter Benjamin’s footsteps across the border to Spain based in part on HDK-Valand PhD candidate Anna Dasović’s artistic research. 

The Summer School welcomes participants from the BA, MA, PhD, and MFA Programs at KKH and HDK Valand as well as international artistic researchers.
