Parade: modes of assembly and forms of address
Critical Practice would like to invite you to Parade. This landmark event will explore the diverse, contested and vital conceptions of being in public. Set in a bespoke structure designed by Ola Wasilkowska and Michał Piasecki, with a host of international contributors, Parade will challenge the lazy, institutionalised model of knowledge transfer. Our modes of assembly, our forms of address and the knowledge we share will be intimately bound.

THE MARKET OF IDEAS: SUNDAY 23RD MAY, 2pm - 6pm:
Markets are good at distributing resources. Based on the model of the ancient bazaar, Parade will convene a Market of Ideas in which 'stalls' staffed by artists, academics, urbanists, geographers, environmentalists, health workers, anthropologists, economists and others will allow for the exchange of knowledge with the milling public. The Market of Ideas will explore the distribution of public knowledge, embody peer-2-peer exchange, and build communal resources.
