The mixed-media installation Insurgent Flows.<\/em> reflects on death and history after World War II. The wars of the present and recent past have entirely changed geopolitical relations. The capitalist imperial powers of the United States and its NATO allies, along with various regional powers, have destroyed Africa (Libya), the Middle East (Iraq), and Afghanistan with colonial appetites. Social and political space is disintegrating under the pressure of global capitalism. The recent \u201ccrises\u201d fuel the perpetuation of the history of racism, antisemitism, Islamophobia, sexism, and homo- and transphobia. They lead to a situation characterized by cruel erasure, displacement, discrimination, humiliation, and the denial of the rights of racialized people, migrant people, refugees, LGBTQI+ people, sex workers, and many others.<\/p>\n

\n

The project-exhibition and symposium Insurgent Flows. Thriving of Black, Brown, Indigenous, Queer and Trans Vitalities. White Topographies of Coercion and Emancipation<\/strong> is a multidisciplinary exploration of various themes, including death, violence, empowerment, futurities.<\/p>\n

It encourages viewers to engage with challenging aspects of history and to think critically about historical narratives, particularly those that involve the ongoing effects of systematic violence. The exhibition is a fascinating and provocative encounter of artistic expressions and critical discourses.<\/p>\n
