\u201cGenealogy of Amnesia: Rethinking the Past for a New Future of Conviviality\u201d 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 developed at the Studio of Conceptual Art (Post-Conceptual Art Practices), Institute for Fine Arts, Academy of Fine Arts Vienna. The project is led by Marina Gr\u017eini\u0107 in collaboration with Christina Jauernik, Tja\u0161a Kancler, Jovita Pristov\u0161ek, \u0160efik Tatli\u0107, Sophie Uitz and Valerija Zabret.<\/p>\n

Launched in February 2018, the three-years project concentrates on amnesia and politics of silence and oblivion that have shaped the constitution of nation-states, identities and communities in Europe and the globalized world. We address colonialism (Belgium), anti-Semitism (Austria), and turbo-nationalism (\u201cSerb Republic\u201d\/the Srebrenica genocide), all of which are central but not the sole factors for the construction of the past and the present in these territories.<\/p>\n

This volume gathers together reflections on racism and nationalism, empowerment and futurity. It focuses on collective amnesia in regards to traumatic events of the European past and the ways in which memory and history are presented for the future. The essays cover and oppose the seemingly disparate genocides committed during Belgian colonialism, Austrian anti-Semitism and turbo-nationalism in \u201cRepublika Srpska\u201d (Bosnia and Herzegovina), implying by no means a homogenization of the experiences. What connects these historical situations is the fact that, despite available documents, to this very day, nation-states are built on practices of oblivion regarding their past. This volume is indispensable for theoreticians, philosophers, and historians, as well as the general public. It expresses the demand to critically question our inherited knowledge and to rethink the past for a new future of conviviality.<\/p>\n

RESUME<\/p>\n

The exhibition \u201cCounter-Archives of Amnesia\u201d is an outcome of a research project \u201cGenealogy of Amnesia: Rethinking the Past for a New Future of Conviviality,\u201d that is the title of an interdisciplinary, art and theory based research project. It is funded by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF) through its Programme for Arts-based Research (PEEK). The research is being developed at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna from 2018 to 2020. The research focuses on three sites and their specific histories and experiences of collective amnesia in regards to traumatic events of the past. It departs from genocides and the politics of silence that has shaped the constitution of identities, communities and last but least the global world. Yet, this research project does not stop at the exposure of silence and oblivion, but aims at countering the disclosed \u201cgenealogy of amnesia,\u201d with displaying the \u201cCounter-Archives of Amnesia.\u201d<\/p>\n

The three traumatic research sites we focus on share in common the impact on the construction of consecutively built nationalist identities:<\/p>\n

\u2014 The construction of a Belgian identity in the aftermath of its colonial past in Congo. Initially called the Congo Free State, the colony remained a personal possession of King Leopold II from 1885 until 1908, when it was taken over by the Belgian government and renamed the Belgian Congo. Without reflection on past colonialism, of which the Case of Belgian Congo was of exemplary brutality, the long and important tradition of postcolonial subjectivities cannot be captured.<\/p>\n

\u2014 The construction of a national identity in Austria after the Anschluss, \u201cannexation,\u201d of Austria into Nazi Germany on 12 March 1938, and the consecutive establishment of the myth, that Austria was Hitler\u2019s \u201cfirst victim.\u201d It was as only decades after the foundation of the Second Republic, due to the Waldheim Affair (1986)\u2014during which the military activity of the future Austrian president Kurt Waldheim in the Wehrmacht was acknowledged\u2014that a de-tabooisation of the Austrian position with regard to the Second World War finally began.<\/p>\n

\u2014 The construction of a new national identity in Serbia and Republika Srpska (\u201cSerb Republic\u201d), along with the negation of war crimes after the dissolution of Yugoslavia (1990\u2012present). It is important to state immediately that in contrast with Austria and Belgium, Republika Srpska is not a state, but a self-proclaimed extra territorial entity that declares its \u201cfull-autonomy,\u201d though being part of Bosnia and Herzegovina.<\/p>\n

Exhibition<\/p>\n

The exhibition \u201cCounter-Archives of Amnesia\u201d will host an international group of artists, exhibiting multiple formats across a variety of media. The goal is to create a network of deeply discursive and visual cross-references via photography, performance, text-based works, and video screenings, in order to initiate the involvement of different communities.<\/p>\n
