Feminist Infrastructural Critique

Capital’s colonization of nature and bodies is built on infrastructure. At the same time, infrastructure is essential to human life and wellbeing. Feminist Infrastructural Critique foregrounds that use, maintenance, and repair are key to resisting infrastructural violence and injustice and presents practices from the Brazilian Amazon to different cities in Europe, Pakistan, the Seychelles, Syria and Puerto Rico.

Kulturinstitutionen im Wandel

Die gesellschaftspolitische Verantwortung von Kulturinstitutionen liegt nicht nur bei den präsentierten Inhalten, sondern genauso bei der strukturellen Veränderung und spiegelt sich klar darin wider, welche Besucher*innen den Weg in die Institution finden. Wer bringt diese Veränderungen voran? Müssen wir Hierarchien neu denken und Kollektive schaffen? Welche Rolle spielt die Kunstvermittlung für institutionelle Diversitätspraxis?

Documenting the War in Ukraine

The war unleashed by the Russian regime against Ukraine has brought devastating consequences, robbing people’s lives, homes, and hopes, while shattering the country’s economy, environment and cultural and historic landmarks. Today no one can predict when this war will end, however it is necessary to ask: How will this war be remembered? What must be remembered, recounted, and relayed – after the war? What is already being documented, and what remains outside the focus of activists and historians?

Project presentations by participants of the Open Call ReThinking NOW – How Will We Remember the War in Ukraine
Moderation: Stefan Melle, Dialogue Office for Civil Society Cooperation

In cooperation with Dialogue Office for Civil Society Cooperation.
