Decolonize This Place. Blurred Lines: Art, Activism, Resistance
Episode Summary:
In the aftermath of the attempted Coup at the Capitol, we start the New Year with a strong belief for a profound change, releasing an episode, where we meet Amin Husain and Nitasha Dhillon - members of the action-oriented collective Decolonize This Place. They tell us why they utilise museum spaces as a focal point for resistance, identifying modern day emergencies that drastically unfold in New York and beyond. The DTP's members express their idea on how cultural institutions should function differently and share with us their vision for founding a new society that changes the landscapes of their hometowns through Action.
Who defines art? What is art washing?
Who are the institutions dominating the narrative?
How can we decrease the amount of social injustice in our community?
About Decolonize This Place:
Decolonize this Place (DTP) is an action-oriented movement and decolonial formation in New York City. Facilitated by MTL+, DTP consists of over 30 collaborators, consisting of grassroots groups and art collectives that seek to resist, unsettle, and reclaim the city. The organizing and action bring together many strands of analysis and traditions of resistance: Indigenous insurgence, Black liberation, free Palestine, free Puerto Rico, the struggles of workers and debtors, de-gentrification, migrant justice, dismantling patriarchy, and more. In some cases, we have used cultural institutions as platforms and amplifiers for movement demands, but we do not understand the transformation of these institutions as an end in and of itself. We aim to cultivate a politics of autonomy, solidarity, and mutual aid within a long-term, multi-generational horizon of decolonial, anti-capitalist, and feminist liberation that is animated by Grace Lee Boggs' question: "What time is it on the clock of the world?"
Hosts: Farah Piriye & Elizabeth Zhivkova
