Archiwum Edukacji #36 - Potential History Symposium. Post Brothers / Matthew Post
Weekend international symposium with participation of artists, curators and invited speakers who have been engaged for years in both theoretical and practical fields (artistic, curatorial, academic, activist) of potential history. They all have worked at the complex and creative intersections of topographies, methodologies, heritages, languages and politics. Drawing on this experience, they will share their research and engagement and will discuss possible scenarios of collaboration and solidarity, refusal and resistance to dominant narratives, affects and aesthetics in the face of violent forms of feeling and representation.
Post Brothers on researching the potential histories of Białystok and the practices and networks of anarchism in the region as well as on artistic and curatorial reconstructions.
