Rui Vilela (DAI, 2012) writes us: Friday, September 16th, we will hold a Listening Session focusing on sonic fragments from the last years of the Liberation Movement in Guinea-Bissau. Rádio Libertação (1964-1974), the broadcasting station of the African Party for the Independence of Guinea and Cape Verde (PAIGC), played a pivotal role in establishing collectivities by means of sound. We will hear snatches of conversations, broadcastings, and songs that tell us about daily lives, political achievements, and individual motivations to defeat colonial yoke. Archive records from the National Radio Broadcaster of Guinea-Bissau resound these fragments back to us, and demonstrate the sonic contours of the anticolonial insurrection.

Moving Laterally ~ Ta(l)king Aside: this collaborative talk between Panagiotis Panagiotakopoulos a.k.a Taka Taka (DAI, 2016 ) and Hypatia Vourloumis (theory-tutor DAI), will knit together different forms of asides. The aside is at once a lateral movement (to push aside) as well as an impromptu remark made to an audience that goes off script. Drawing on the aside as a queer performative statement and mode of deviant performance that produces different knowledges that are usually sidelined, our presentation will explore different modalities of exchange. What can the aside offer in terms of the forming of surprising pedagogies? How is the aside moving 'from,' 'for,' and 'to?' The aside is implicitly non-linear, improvisatory, fugitive and disruptive, and cannot be predicted or defined in advance. What does the bringing together of different swerving asides do? This presentation will follow and merge the lateral (non)structure of unforseen knitted asides, including those spontaneously shared by the participants of our gathering. When: 19 September. Where: DAS Graduate School.

"AN ANTIDOTE TO STIFF EDGES" ~ smoothing (lines into circles) is an exhibition that seeks to grind down stark corners, flat bluntness, vertical systems, and short-cut assumptions through gestural explorations. Curling around textual and corporeal abstractions, and meandering along poetic and geometric condensations, the exhibition follows the journey of straight lines as they transform into poetic ones. The artworks are looking after the materialities of the language, of the body, and of the form simultaneously to create new languages to view, new bodies to read, and new forms of being together. Embodying new, existing, or re-visited drawings, installations, and sculptures by Maria Barnas, Sepideh Behrouzian (DAI, 2020), Annabelle Binnerts, Sabrina Chou, Maike Hemmers (DAI, 2017), José Quintanar, Merey Şenocak, and Baha Görkem Yalım (DAI, 2018), smoothing (lines into circles), proposes a circle as an unbreakable line of elasticity, an antidote to stiff edges. Where: A Tale of A Tub. Till: August 28, 2022.

"IN THE TWELFTH BERLIN BIENNALE, images of Iraqi torture and sexual abuse victims have been blown up and arranged into a maze of crude entrapment. The walls of this maze reproduce the photos taken by American soldiers at Abu Ghraib prison and leaked in 2004, one year after the US-led invasion of Iraq. This edition of the Biennale is said to be centered on decolonial engagement, to offer “repair . . . as a form of agency” and “a starting point . . . for critical conversation, in order to find ways together to care for the now.” Yet the Biennale made the decision to commodify photos of unlawfully imprisoned and brutalized Iraqi bodies under occupation, displaying them without the consent of the victims and without any input from the Biennale’s participating Iraqi artists, whose work was adjacently installed without their knowledge. Who is given agency in this form of “repair”? Certainly not the Iraqi victims in the photos, nor the Iraqi artists who participated in the Biennale, nor the Iraqi viewers who were retraumatized by this callous restaging of one of the United States’ most notorious war crimes". ~ ~ ~ Read (and please SIGN) the Open Letter "Beyond Repair: Regarding Torture at the Berlin Biennale" (which was originally published on 29 July, 2022 in Artforum) here.
