Critical Zones | Assembly Towards Permacircular Museums


[22.04.2020]


Rising climate awareness as well as the pandemic are challenging
global mobility in unprecedented ways. Place, space, and movement
are being redefined. Édouard Glissant’s writings on the »Poetics
of Relation« have introduced the radical difference between
economic globalization and planetary globality. How can cultural
institutions engage with these transformations, and reevaluate
their relationship with both local contexts and the translocal
circulation of ideas and forms? How to think beyond the dualist
alternative between fossil-fueled hypermobility and the identity
politics of re-rooting?


with Marco Baravalle (researcher and activist at IUAV and Sale
Docks, Venice), Oliver Kandt (curator and director of Parallel
Oaxaca, Oaxaca) and Edith Morales (artist, activist, Milpa
Urbana, Oaxaca), Jakob Kudsk Steensen (artist, Berlin), Pia
Lindman (artist, researcher of the subsensorial, and founding
member of Solbacka ecovillage, Inkoo) and an activation by Benoît
Verjat (research designer)
