Response-ability on trial brings together perspectives of climate litigation, more-than-human legalities, power and hegemony. Whose interests are recognized as rights? Who is granted legal access? Who is heard and whose words are left at the margins? Which idea of a common world is negotiated with whom?
Response-ability on trial is a transdisciplinary project which negotiates the idea of a (legal) Anthropocene in the - in between of - academia and art.
Solidarität mit Nachdruck: Alle Verbündeten und die, die es noch werden wollen, erhalten durch Das Genre des Menschseins Argumente für den Kampf gegen
Ausschlüsse und Diskriminierungen. In der Lecture Performance besteht Myassa Kraitt aka KDM Königin der Macht darauf, dass wir die hartnäckigen Einteilungen im Konzept des Menschseins hinterfragen und Gewalt als solche benennen. Sie sagt: Wir sollten uns von dem Gedanken verabschieden, dass alle alles durch Leistung und Exzellenz schaffen könnten und stattdessen die Ideologie der Ungleichheit bekämpfen, die uns das glauben lässt.
A pluralistic engagement in knowledge systems In their contribution, Ivana Pilić and Myassa Kraitt explore different knowledge cultures in curatorial
arrangements, taking relational differences as the starting point of their work(s) and practices. The lecture (performance) focuses on the imagination of the East and West (for example, frontier orientalism) and processes of othering. Which conditions and parameters in the establishment of knowledge must be expanded in order to create space for ‘minoritised’ persons and those affected by exclusions?
How can methodological and conceptual approaches be taken to subvert hierarchical arrangements in the representation of knowledge? Ivana Pilić and Myassa Kraitt contribute to deconstructing the historical devaluation and exploitation of marginalised bodies, putting struggles against cultural domination at the centre of their practice.
