Les cahiers de l’école du non-savoir sont publiés et accessibles sur le site de Civic City et sur Ulule.

L’école du non-savoir, a collaborative project and event with Civic-City, Ruedi Baur and Vera Bau, the Cnam’s Design Jean Prouvé chair (Pierre Lévy), the Institut Français and Estienne / École Supérieure des Arts et Industries Graphiques, is based on the conviction that dialogue between the arts, design, science and society can open up new horizons in our understanding and apprehension of known and yet-to-be-discovered worlds. Through collaborative and evolving reflection, we question the mysteries and blind spots of today’s world and of worlds to come, our relationship with the known, the unknown, the hidden and the buried, questioning representations as well as modes of transmission of non-knowledge. The aim is to imagine how design can give visibility to what is not visible, make perceptible what is not, and show what cannot be seen. To this end, it is bringing together experts and a network of 30 art and design schools from around the world to examine this non-knowledge together.
