SPEAP / Programme of experimentation in arts and politics
27, rue Saint Guillaume
75337 Paris cedex 07
France
The programme of experimentation in art and politics (SPEAP), founded in 2010 at Sciences Po Paris is driven by key notions of experimentation, inquiry and representation with a view to the creation of new operational procedures, which combine the social sciences, art and politics. This implies the renewal of existing formats that serve to define 'public affaires', from which the term 'art politics' rather than 'political science' emerges. SPEAP intends to interrogate the issues surrounding 'public affaires' by putting in place an experimental space, taking inspiration from pragmatist philosophy, sociology, the history of science, as well as the history of art. The originality of the course is the way in which it has participants work for one year in groups on practical projects relating to real issues.
To whom does SPEAP address itself?
SPEAP is a programme designed for young international-professionals: social science researchers, artists (in the wider sense of the term, including architecture and design) and professionals from a cultural or political milieu. A high level of fluency in English, as well as French will be a requirement.

Working on the urgent and necessary questions raised, and on new forms of debate and modes of representation for the climate problem. Participants will form multi-disciplinary groups mobilized around commissions generated by this global event.
It is not necessary to be a specialist on climate questions, eco-politics or geo-politics, or even to have worked on such subjects, however, readiness to contribute your skills and methods to the projects concerned with these questions will be imperative.
