    In the academic year 2015/16, the curriculum of CCC relates to the idea of ‘transition’ with regard to knowledge processes. The projects / seminar modules of the trans- disciplinary curriculum are built around the two main bodies of the research-based study programme: Research Practice and Situated Art Practices provide the spaces for students to discuss their projects. Around the two mains bodies are seminars in Theory Fiction, Curatorial, Cultural Studies, Political Studies, Critical Theory and the Reading Group that inform the students’ research based projects. 2015/16 is framed by the one- year colloquium Thinking under Turbulence that invites guests to be in conversation with the CCC. It consists of public sessions open to everyone and closed sessions for all students of CCC. The invited guests contribute to all seminars and modules of the curriculum.

    The two-days UNMASTER CLASS: COMMITTEES OF DECOLONIZATION proposes an experimental setting to imagine a weakening United Nations in the context of contemporary independence struggles. How can we critically think the UN as a functioning intergovernmental organization in the light of ongoing independence processes in so-called ‘non-self-governing territories’ that are subject to decolonizing processes of the present? How is it possible to think of a vocabulary to 'unmaster' the United Nation’s definition of sovereignty by using trans-disciplinary processes to analyse globally networked environmental-material histories. How can we research the entanglement of geographies, commodities and technologies? How is it possible for a group of students that gather in Geneva in an art academy to learn to understand the entanglement between 'non-self-governing territories’ and Switzerland (Geneva in particular) as a set of global infrastructures? Which ‘non-self-governing territories’ exist inside of Europe? Which relations do our everyday lives have to ‘non-self-governing territories’ in the world?
