Barricading the Ice Sheets: Tactics to disrupt climate-wrecking activities

Organized by Marina Grzinic in collaboration with Oliver Ressler.

Oliver Ressler: Barricading the Ice Sheets

Oliver Ressler introduces with his project Barricading the Ice Sheets methods that bring activists together in situations that might not have arisen otherwise, creating the opportunity for them to speak from platforms that would otherwise have been unavailable, and recording the insights that result from these combinations. Ressler has organized in collaboration with Camera Austria the conference “Barricading the Ice Sheets« in Graz. Among the speakers was Aka Niviâna. “Barricading the Ice Sheets” is supported by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF: AR 526). In autumn 2021 it will materialize as an exhibition at Camera Austria.

Aka Niviâna: Climate awareness is for everyone When we talk about the climate crisis, there is a tendency of believing that you have to be a certain kind of person, with a certain position to make impact on the topic. The argument I try to communicate is, that no matter your background it is an issue that we all can participate in solving. We all share the responsibility to change the current way of life on Earth. CV: Aka Niviâna (GL) is a Greenlandic artist based in Nuuk. Aka writes poetry and scripts that focuses on topic regarding climate and our role and responsibility for future generations.

Oliver Ressler (AT) is an artist and filmmaker from Vienna, and initiator of “Barricading the Ice Sheets”. He works on issues such as economics, democracy, migration, the climate catastrophe, forms of resistance and social alternatives. He has completed thirty-three films that have been screened worldwide in thousands of events of social movements, art institutions and film festivals. Ressler has participated in more than 350 group exhibitions, Kyiv (2017), Gothenburg (2019), Stavanger (2019), and at Documenta 14, Kassel, 2017 (exhibition organized by EMST). www.ressler.art

Lecture »Voices of Disorder, voices of the Academy. A talk with Yuderkys Espinosa«

As part of the dialogue within European Academies about the decolonization of knowledge and studies, the theorist Yuderkys Espinosa Miñoso is invited to talk about her career within and outside the academy. In this presentation, Espinosa will share reflections about her experience that as a black Caribbean migrant subject she had overcome in academic spaces.

This talk will be useful for critical students and academics in the field of social sciences, and especially for those who work, or would like to work, with a decolonial, anti-colonial, and anti-racist feminist perspective. We would like to reflect...What does it mean to be a decolonial thinker and a decolonial artist in a western colonial space like the academy? Which are and how we can use the resources that we have to develop our practices in white predominantly space? What type of negotiations is necessary and/or meaningful in order to redirect our learning in a decolonial way?

The lecture is strongly recommended to Black, Indigenous and People of Color, latinxs, meztizes living in Europe. But we also welcome every student willing to work on self-criticism in relation to their individual position within the academy, the social context, and global geography.

As part of the program, Mariama Diallo, student at the Academy of Fine Arts, will introduce the evening with her reflections and thoughts on her experience as an African woman in the Academy of Fine Arts. In addition, we will end the evening with a performance of Moenani Sisters.

Yuderkys Espinosa Miñoso is a writer, researcher, philosopher, professor and activist of Afro-Dominican origin. She is part of the Latin American Group of Studies, Training and Feminist Action (GLEFAS). Through her work, she explains the necessity of adopting a decolonial feminist perspective by reflecting on and confronting the hegemonic, eurocentric, racist and classist perspectives that are intertwined in the feminist movement. Without warning, she has become one of the fundamental referents of decolonial feminism in Abya Yala. Espinosa has also begun with the formation of a new feminist generation through the educative platform GLEFAS.

Mariama Diallo was born in Guinea. She has applied for asylum in Austria in 2011. Since 2014 she studies Contextual Painting at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna, Prof. Hans Scheirl. She is a Pan-Africanist. She fights for African dignity, respect for Africans and for the sovereignty of Africa.

Moenani Sisters is an insurgent movement of women from different parts of the world, women who pass on our message of life, respect and love of diversity through dance. It is the answer to the search for community, brotherhood, love and reciprocity and it is the non-hegemonic dance that has brought us together in this school of women.

Lia Kastiyo-Spinósa was born by the Caribbean Sea. Since 2018 she lives and studies in Vienna at the Academy of Fine Arts. Her main media of production are photography, collage, and performance. She is also part of diverse activist collectives and projects like the Frauen*Referat, Migrazine Magazine, and the House Türkis Rosa Lila Villa.

The volume focuses on collective amnesia in regards to traumatic events of the European past and the ways in which memory and history are presented for the future. It gathers together reflections on racism and nationalism, empowerment and futurity. As the subtitle indicates, ultimately this volume is about achieving a future conviviality.

On this festive occasion, the editors of the book will present its content, structure and contributors.

The volume is an outcome of the art- and theory-based research project Genealogy of Amnesia: Rethinking the Past for a New Future of Conviviality. It is funded by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF) through its Programme for Arts-based Research (PEEK). The research is developed at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna, from 2018 to 2020. archiveofamnesia.akbild.ac.at
