Decolonial Feminist Forum: Let's talk about Documenta 15
When:
—
Venue:
Birkbeck 43 Gordon Square
As Documenta 15 draws to a close, possibly to be remembered as the controversial iteration of this significant exhibition, we invite you to discuss the actual content of the exhibition (as opposed to its problems or omissions which dominated its coverage), its curatorial approach and the radical departure from the traditional exhibition format, introduced by ruangrupa’s curatorship. In this first iteration of Documenta to be curated by a collective, we witnessed a series of functional networks or nodes, invited by ruanrgupa and fourteen other collectives, mostly from the global south. In this hub of activity, individual authorship took a back seat counting few recognisable artists’ names and instead opening up propositions for organising and collective action.
The DFF is an informal forum, with no hierarchies, no formal presentations and no necessary preparation. It is a conversation. We will show some images from Documenta 15, as a backdrop for a discussion. Feel free to bring snacks or tea/coffee (if that feels Covid-safe at the time).
