Conference by Marina Gržinić & Tjaša Kancler
Wild Grammar – European Media Art Festival 2019, Osnabrück, Germany.

In this lecture Gržinić and Kancler reflect how a selected number of video works through trans* discursivity reformulate the film language of short and experimental video films in order to open a new politics in the field. Our analysis draws on trans*body, trash imagery, the relation of language and law, marginalizing social structures, and rebel unruly positions that through performative declarations of language and structure of their videos repoliticize the experimental video practice of the 21st century. By embracing trans* discourses, histories of subversive films from the South and former Eastern Europe, the lecture explores modes to create wild meanings.

“Genealogy of Amnesia: Rethinking the Past for a New Future of Conviviality” is the title of an interdisciplinary, arts and theory based research project. It is funded by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF) through its Programme for Arts-based Research (PEEK). The project is led by Marina Gržinić and developed at the Studio of Conceptual Art (Post-Conceptual Art Practices), Institute for Fine Arts, Academy of Fine Arts Vienna.

The aim of “Genealogy of Amnesia: Rethinking the Past for a New Future of Conviviality” is to understand how processes of empowerment are built against the politics of collective forgetting and silence. The research is focussed on political, social, ideological, and cultural mechanisms that produce collective amnesia — such as antisemitism, racialization, political and economic dispossession, gender discrimination, or hegemonic nationalism.[…]

SCREENING PROGRAM curated by Marina Gržinić and Tjaša Kancler

This program focuses on gender multiple borders and sex as politics. The program puts under question the regime of Whiteness, EU politics of segregation and expulsion, hidden histories. It as well talks about work: to be an artist, theoretician and sex worker. How much resistance against exploitation, racism, dispossession, and misery these positions can produce? What are the forms of these resistances? A militant theater, performance, documentary, a burlesque or an intervention on the street, in the classroom?
