Archiwum Edukacji #39 - Potential History Symposium. Anna Łazar
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.
Anna Łazar, on curating in the post-soviet context, on the engagement with multiple perspectives and languages on imperialist history (and art history) of the region, as well as on the challenges of deconstructing histories through exhibitions.
