Study days: to blow your cover

On the 11 & 12 June we will organise two study days around the question ’what could blow your cover?’ in the context of Constant’s 2026 research trajectory on Unbordering.

What is (allowed to be) in full exposure? What has to remain in the shadows?

In this two-day programme, we will touch upon several layers that could ’blow your cover’ or - reversely - ’cover you up’ – from the large scale perspective of nation borders to the up close internal or inherited knowledges.

Amongst other things, we will gather with herbalist Edith Stefanato for a workshop to create a protective balm using comfrey, a local healing plant from ancient medicine. A session with Sarah Chander (Equinox) will blow the cover of the ways national borders are being fortified. Artist, astrologer and tutor Samah Hijawi will host a collective cooking session, while she discusses how the concept of unbordering is read in astrology and the characters of the planets.

Join us in uncovering and covering through collective moments of making, reading, drawing, listening and cooking.

The main language of communication is English, whisper translation to French and Dutch can be organised on the spot.

The event is free and you can sign up for one or two days, but spots are limited, so reserve via info@constantvzw.org
