Dear all
You are invited to two laboratories at our Artaud Performance Center (Brunel University) –
"Shadows of the Dawn: Migration and the Indeterminacy of Community & Immunity"
18 april / and / 13 june 2018
Artaud Performance Center- Brunel University London / supported by the Institute of Environment, Health and Societies / Arts & Humanities
How do we confront a transcultural survival politics and better understanding of migration and hospitality? The aim of these two workshops is to incite debate and practical knowledge exchange between fields – theatre, social works, education, human geography, political science, ethnography, media arts – on pressing questions regarding notions of “imagined communities” during the current resurgence of ethno-nationalism, exemplified by xenophobic hostilities, divergent responses to the so-called refugee crisis, Britain voting to leave the European Union, the election of Donald Trump, the rise of right wing populism on the European continent. During the symposia-workshops, participants will consider interlinked focal points that deal with community and immunity.
• Natural History of Migration/Immunity and Biopolitics
• Racism and Patriotism / Institutional and Systemic Sexual Violence
• Security, Nationness, Ethno-futurism, and the Theatre of Resistance
The planned activities include scholarly presentations/shorter provocations, workshops and practice-based performances or fieldwork demonstration/film to be presented over the two symposia in April and June 2018. Format and compositional method of the Series are intended to be open and innovative as well: curatorial propositions will be solicited from invited guests and volunteer participants.
