The exhibition explores the feeling of “tuha” - deep anxiety and burden on the heart, characteristic of the Belarusian individual and their reality. The ivited artists show ways of transforming feelings into causal power, opening new spaces for action and thinking' revision. They mutate systems by means of introducing minor internal displacements into the discursive regime.
The title critically and self-ironically refers to a quick method of transmitting knowledge - a course - that is, a set of condensed lessons as a remedy for the information noise that causes ignorance and moral apathy in times of a multitude of crises. It is also a language game related to the course as a trajectory/movement toward agency, rebellion, resistance.
