IBK lectures Zoom organized by Marina Grzinic with suggestions by Oke Fijal., Sen Reyes, Melina Vesely, and Frau Diamanda

Who is afraid of class struggle? And some other behavior patterns

Lecture by Sergio Zevallos, Berlin and Lima, as part of the IBK lectures.

In this talk Sergio Zevallos will make a journey through different periods of his artistic work, relating them to the political context in which he was living, and to the controversial behaviors and ideas that were generated at that point. The talk develops as a memory of a performance praxis for a social survival and the graphical way of recording that experience. He will present some representative projects for each period, also describing in detail aspects of the processes of their realization.

Sergio Zevallos is a multidisciplinary artist noted for his subversive body actions, photographs, drawings, and installations. He was co-founder of Grupo Chaclacayo (Lima, Peru), a collective of the 1980s that dealt with the intersection of religion, gender, and armed conflicts. In 1989 the group migrated to Germany until it dissolved in 1994. Since then he lives and works between Lima and Berlin. Zevallos works on issues of transcultural identity, gender, and the relationship between the individual and power, or between intimacy and the codes of institutionality. He configures his performative works, installations, photographs, drawings, and sound compositions by collecting images and texts of public circulation, press, popular magazines, television programs, educational manuals, and religious images, which he then recontextualizes and reinterprets anew.

Monday, 15.04.2024 WHERE: Schillerplatz, Mezannin, lecture room M13a WHEN: 18.00 to 20.00

Keynote Lecture by Dr. Suvendrini Perera and Dr. Joseph Pugliese Settler Colonialism: Its Ongoing Itineraries of Violence

In this lecture we present an overview of our transnational research project Deathscapes: Mapping Racial Violence in Settler Colonial Societies (2016–2020). The project maps racialised deaths in custody and technologies of state violence across several settler states – and their points of origin in the European metropolis. What is distinctive about the research is its grounding of present-day anti-refugee and anti-migrant violence in the ongoing logics of the settler-colonial state and its foundational denial of Indigenous sovereignty.

Drawing on case studies from Australia to Gaza, we discuss some of the key analytical concepts that underpin the conceptual and political fabric of the project. We also outline how the Deathscapes website functions as an anti-archive that refuses the settler state’s purely forensic accounts and reductively statistical tabulations of the Indigenous and refugees deaths generated by its regimes of racialised elimination. We conclude by demonstrating how the Deathscapes site acts as an interface for diverse forms of engagement and exchange among communities, activists, artists and researchers who oppose contemporary settler colonial violence and who are committed to transformative justice outcomes.

Suvendrini Perera is John Curtin Distinguished Emeritus Professor, Curtin University, Australia.

Joseph Pugliese is Professor at the Department of Media, Communications, Creative Arts, Language and Literature, Macquarie University, Sydney, Australia

Organized in the frame of the Erasmus + project and the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna. An event in the scope of Conviviality as Potentiality: From Amnesia to Pandemic towards Convivial Epistemologies (FWF AR 679, 2021–2025).

Panel discussion Migration and Borders in the Globalised World: Living Together in Conviviality?

Border regimes and processes of marginalisation counteract forms of convivial coexistence in different ways in neoliberal nation states, at present as well as in the past. What can be done about this? Which strategies can be used to boost conviviality in this context? And what does it take to make living convivially possible within different societies in the first place?

Suvendrini Perera, Joseph Pugliese, Amani Abuzahra and Monika Mokre will discuss these and other questions on conviviality in a transcontinental panel discussion. Chaired by Marina Gržinić.

Join us in a performative event

TITLE: Travesti Wanderings and Other Migrations

A central stage is taken by two remarkable positions

Frau Diamanda (Perú, 1971)

Translator, writer, travesti audiovisual artist, drag performer, independent curator, cultural infector, DJ, and occasional actress based in Barcelona.

Pêdra Costa (Brazil, 1978)

Groundbreaking Brazilian performance and transdisciplinary artist,
visual & urban anthropologist, performer, and tarot reader based in Berlin.

Travesti Wanderings and Other Migrations is a creative exploration and artistic journey that delves into the complexities of travesti, sexual dissidence, history, knowledge, work, migration, and coloniality. A live talk between Frau Diamanda and Pêdra Costa serves as a performative event is bringing forth a radical reimagining of sexual history, pleasure, power, and the processes of racialization within Europe. Shedding light on what constitutes sexual dissidence and the significance of the travesti identity, as well as anti-canonical knowledge and strategies from various countries in Latin America, is central to this event. Latin America's differing societal and political landscapes highlight the importance of understanding and addressing travesti experiences. This event also touches upon the history of colonialism by white imperial Europe and its contemporary manifestations.

At 20.00 Afro Rainbow Austria stopNchop (pay as you wish, pay as you can) DJs Henrie Dennis aka DJ bawó, Frau Travesti Residente, Pêdra Costa into MayDay
