Thursday the 18th of August, 2022 at 9pm, Eric Peter (DAI, 2019), together with Kevin and 'O' will be performing 'Brut (Screaming Quietly)', a performance conceptualised and choreographed by Kevin Bonono in Trauma, Berlin - as part of Savvy’s new program ‘Ceremony / Party As Method’. The performance takes as its object of examination the double-bind of expression that a certain group of people and outsiders face: staying true to their inner voice while simultaneously modulating that voice into something recognisable or inoffensive to their often hostile social environments. This is the dilemma of those who, on the one hand, are encouraged or compelled to be authentic, but whose authenticity is always remarked upon or disciplined by complaints of being too loud, too unrecognisable, too much. With limited political power, those who must use their unique voice(s) to survive, to stay sane, and to hear and find each other are told their timbre is too shrill for the crowd, their fashions too bright to fit in, their bodies too specific to completely belong.

The Hauntologists is a project that emerged through experimentation and collective research within the 2021/2022 BAK Fellowship for Situated Practice. Engaging “spectrality” as a tactic to investigate and redress the conditions of brokenness of the world, it takes place in Istanbul, Jakarta, and Utrecht until December 10, 2022 as a continuously evolving and geographically distributed discursive, performative, publishing, and exhibitionary composition. Among the participants: Philippa Driest (DAI, 2021), Gayatri Kodikal (DAI, 2020), Yen Noh (DAI, 2019). Join them on Saturday, September 10, 2022 at 4pm CEST at BAK, basis voor actuele kunst, for the opening and a welcoming word from Julia Morandeira, curator of the post-academic program BAK Fellowship for Situated Practice and convener of the Utrecht cell ( and on top of that also a beloved theory tutor at DAI).

UP in SMOKE is a new installation by Jimini Hignett (DAI, 2010) that links contemporary misogynist ‘incel’ groups to historical practices of the persecution of women as witches. At the centre of this installation is the bonfire. Hovering above it hangs a cloud of ‘smoke’ consisting of 365 tiny porcelain items. This plethora of objects represents all that has gone ‘UP in SMOKE’, everything lost to the flames of misogyny – women’s knowledge, women’s skills, women’s ways of working collectively – or things which incite male anger or derision. The material itself houses a nice metaphor – clay, when fired, becomes stronger and more resilient. The objects reference both historical loss as well as more contemporary, metaphoric or personal loss. They have been made in collaboration with Hignett's 85-year old mother, the artist Josephine Lewington – a contemporary witch-figure who lives an unconventional life with her animals and her knowledge of plants, her socialist ideals and her ‘coven’ of feminist friends.
