PRESENTATION: JAFARI S. ALLEN
Black/Queer Here & There: Ethnography of an Idea

In this presentation, I will provide some broad outlines of my new work-in-progress, Black/Queer Here and There: An Ethnography of an Idea. This new work seeks to re-narrativize the meaning and significance of Black desire for political empowerment or autonomy; for fun and carefree play in the face of social suffering; and erotic desire for one another. Black/Queer Here & There traces power and differential agency in the lives and works of Black gender non-conformists and sexual minorities across borders of geography, nationality, class, gender, sexuality and citizenship – examining a variety of subjective motivations, scenes and scales.

CV: Jafari S. Allen is Associate Professor of African American Studies and Anthropology at Yale University, and works at the intersections of [queer] sexuality, gender and blackness. Allen is the author of the critical ethnography “¡Venceremos?: The Erotics of Black Self-Making in Cuba“, and editor of “Black/Queer/Diaspora – a special issue of GLQ: A Journal of Lesbian and Gay Studies“. www.jafariallen.com

Decolonizing Knowledge
Lecture performance by Grada Kilomba followed by a talk in between Grada Kilomba, Clifford Erinmwionghae and Marissa Lôbo.

The lecture is organized as part of the Kültürgemma Fellowship for 2014/2015 awarded to Clifford Erinmwionghae project “Interactive Photography” and in collaboration with two institutions: Secession, Brunnenpassage and the Post Conceptual Study Program (PCAP)/IBK at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna.

Erinmwionghae´s project will consists among other activities of 3 events organized from June to October 2015.

The first event is the lecture performance by Grada Kilomba (Portugal, Berlin). Kilomba is a writer, theorist and interdisciplinary artist. Her work draws on memory, trauma, and post-colonialism intertwining the academic and artistic languages in a variety of formats, from print publications to staged reading and performances.

Kilomba is the author of Plantation Memories, a compilation of episodes of
everyday racism written in the form of short psychoanalytical stories; and co-editor of “Mythen, Masken und Subjekte”, an anthology on Critical Whiteness. Her recent work includes a film on the African liberation leader Amílcar Cabral, titled: Conakry, as well as the staging of Nuruddin Faras literary work on Loss, Borders, and Politics. Kilomba was a Guest Professor for Gender Studies and Post-colonial studies, at the Humboldt University - Berlin. Currently, she is awriter/artist in residence in the city of Berlin, where she is developing a series of projects on decolonial feminism, and decolonizing and performing Knowledge.

After the lecture a talk will follow in between Grada Kilomba, Clifford Erinmwionghae (refugee activist and cultural event promoter in Vienna, currently studying Post Conceptual Art at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna) and the artist Marissa Lôbo (one of the coordinator and curator of the Kültürgemma project, which is the only artist grant for Migrants and Refugees in Vienna).

The audience is invited to participate and to re-imagine the concepts of knowledge and power with opening new spaces for decolonial thinking.

The whole event is held in English.

Die Silhouette ihres "Afrolooks" zierte T-Shirts, Hauswände und Plakate. Heute solidarisiert sie sich mit der Occupy-Bewegung und fragt nach den Verbindungen der Unterdrückung aufgrund des Geschlechts, der "Rasse"/Ethnizität und der Klasse in den USA und der weltweiten Globalisierung.

GUEST LECTURE by Alexander Alberro
TITLE: On the Horns of A Dilemma: Contemporary Art Between the Regional and the Transnational

My paper centers around three fundamental questions. Is it possible to reestablish the lost link between contemporary art and a consistent art historical narrative? Second, can the art of the past quarter century be seen in structural terms – that is, is it organized around a structure? And third, are there theoretical and practical tools that could help us to comprehend both the governing principle of regional traditions, and the alleged globalization of the art world in recent years? To date, the answers given to such crucial questions have established only a limited connection between a regional or national art space on the one hand and a transnational or global art space on the other. In order to move beyond this division, I will propose that the art of the past several decades exists in a mediating space between these two poles: a parallel territory, relatively autonomous from the political domain, and dedicated as a result to questions, debates, inventions of a specifically artistic nature. Here struggles of all sorts are refracted, diluted, deformed or transformed according to an artistic logic, and in artistic forms. My hope is that working from this hypothesis, while trying to envisage all its theoretical and practical consequences, an understanding of art that is at once regional and transnational can be developed: in other words, a concept that could give a unified account of, say, the development of recent art forms, or the aesthetics of the artworks, and their connection to the political, economic and social world.

He is also at work on a volume that explores new forms of art and spectatorship that have crystallized in the past two decades
