FILM screening and discussion The Right of Passage 2013, film A film by Zanny Begg and Oliver Ressler, 19 minutes, 2013

In their third collaborative film Zanny Begg (Sydney) and Oliver Ressler (Vienna) focus on struggles to obtain citizenship, while at the same time questioning the implicitly exclusionary nature of the concept. The Right of Passage is partially constructed through a series of interviews with Ariella Azoulay, Antonio Negri and Sandro Mezzadra. These interviews form the starting point for a discussion in Barcelona, one of Europe’s most densely populated and multicultural cities, with a group of people living “without papers”. The title, The Right of Passage, refers to the stages, or “rites of passage” that mark important transitions on the path to selfhood. The exchange of “rites” with “rights” suggests that freedom of movement must become a right granted to every person – regardless of his or her place of birth. As the film explores these journeys not only transform those who embark upon them but also the places they inhabit.

Seminar by Mag. Aneta Stojnic

Seminar consisting of three lectures with the title Conceptual art and techno-bodies ("cyborg" and "queer" in the new technology environment)

Abstract:

The lectures will focus on the construction of the social, cultural and personal identity in media-dominated environment, relating to the contiguity between "cyborg" and "queer" and their implications in the new technology environment. The cyborgs represent liminal beings that do not seek for the stable essentialist identities. In the myth of the cyborg Donna Haraway sees the political potential to liberate feminism from tendencies toward unified identification, arguing that instead feminists should seek for alliances based in affinity rather than identity. However, almost 30 years after the "Cyborg manifesto" (Haraway, 1984) self-design has become a common, one could say, an everyday practice in the first world, thus the question of the body as a social construct is more relevant than ever. The mentioned topics will be addressed within the discursive framework of conceptual art practices, performance studies and theory/philosophy of media. Last but not least we will focus on the question of how these newly established relations, protocols and procedures are, and can be used in performance (artistic) practices, with the emphasize on the practices that affirm critical thinking in post conceptual art.

Mag. Aneta Stojnic, theoretician artist and curator, Belgrade, Serbia is currently Ernst-Mach Scholarship holder for a research project at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna, Conceptual Art study program. She is PhD candidate at University of Arts in Belgrade, thesis title: “Critical Theory of Performance in Digital Art: Towards the New Political Performance”.

1 lecture: cyborg" and "queer" and their implications in the new technology environment. A short history of projects of how these newly established relations, protocols and procedures are, and can be used in performance (artistic) practices, with the emphasize on the practices that affirm critical thinking in post conceptual art.
