MuMaGi : ar/t/khitecture and musound

The University of the Underground was founded in February 2017, as a charity with a ANBI status (RSIN 8575.82.781) . We are a free, pluralistic and transnational university based in the basement of nightclubs- with headquarters in Amsterdam and London- and actively working with both institutions and nightlife. As a charity, we hope to bring generations together to democratise access to public institutions and trigger changes and critical reflections through the use of creative and experiential practices. With an explicit focus on political theory, design of experiences, music, theatrical practices, film, social actions and social dreaming; our university aims to provide toolkits for members of the public and students to actively participate in revealing power structures in institutions. The University of the Underground supports unconventional research, countercultures and practices that apprehend and challenge the formulation of culture, the manufacture and commodities of knowledge. The University of the Underground believes in a transnational form of education which exist beyond national borders. As a result we are also developing educative programmes in the USA, starting this summer 2019, in collaboration with the Hannah Arendt Center of Bard College and the United Nations, but also soon in North Africa, Greece and beyond.
