Die gemeinsame Arbeit am DFG-Graduiertenkolleg „Das Wissen der Künste“
hört auf, wir blicken zurück. Ein Gespräch über das Verhältnis von
Künsten und Wissenschaften, über Forschung an einer Kunstuniversität,
Kritik und Situiertheit von Wissen und über das, was abhanden gekommen
ist und wieder aufgefunden wurde.
The round table instituting/fleeing addresses collective practices as
forms of resistance against power asymmetries – as activist strategies.
It focuses on the entangled dynamics between fleeing and occupying the
institution and the role institutional critique plays in these dynamics.
We will map out our different collective practices by posing questions,
such as: How can we understand the different ways the institution and the
collectives are linked? How to create collectives within the institution?
How can collectives flee or occupy the institution? Who can flee and
where to? How do institutions appropriate and destroy collective
structures?
This text was part of the opening to the symposium sharing/learning:
methods of the collective in art, research and activism and was read on
28th June 2019, in English, by two members of the organizing team, as
introductory words. The text deliniates the central questions from which
the two-day gathering arises, as well as its methodologies and actors.
Many formulations originate from previously written concept papers, which
were used to present the project for various purposes. These in turn are
informed by the many conversations that took place within the
organizational team – a group of people whose constellation was shifting
along the way – orally as well as in writing.
‘Looking Back Forward_Quip Nayr’ is based on the Aymara concept of time
and space called ‘qhip nayr’. As the Bolivian sociologist Silvia Rivera
Cusicanqui refers to it, ‘quip nayr’ is a way of looking into the past to
orient your path to the future. I use this concept to reflect on
processes of change, concerning language, identity and place. Expressing
identity on fabric recuperates my ancestors’ tradition from the Andean
region in Abya Yala (Latinamerica). The layering of textiles is inspired
by Gloria Anzaldúa, who uses fabrics as a synonym to talk about the
construction of identity in her concept ‘Haciendo Caras’.
