Tricontinentale.net A project of the Center for Post-Colonial Knowledge and Culture - Marion von Osten (artist, author and curator, Berlin); Peter Spillmann (artist, researcher and curator, Zurich/Berlin); Serhat Karakayali (sociologist, Berlin) - in collaboration with: Maud Houssais (cultural scientist and curator, Rabat); Emily Fahlén (cultural scientist and curator, Stockholm); Olivier Hadouchi (film historian and film programmer, Paris); Kenza Sefrioui (literary critic, publisher, Casablanca); Mathieu Kleyebe Abonnenc (artist, writer, Metz); Daniel Weiss (architectural historian and archivists, Zurich) tricontinentale.net aims to revisit the historical prospect of the Tricontinental Movement created mainly by activists, theorists and artists from the global South as a major references point for non-aligned transnational solidarity projects until today. The tricontinentale.net focus is on transnational and translocal encounters as well as on the role visual artists, writers and filmmakers have played for the constitution of the movement and societal change in search for radical post-colonial aesthetics. With this shift in perspective – looking from the South and East back to the North/West and through the arts and cultural practices back to politics – the project aims to overcome the conceptual frame of continentalism as well as a post-war, post-89 European paradigm of contemporaneity. Instead it will take anti-colonial and non-aligned movements and the decline of the Empires as central reference points to review and imagine worldly relations. With this change in perspective the project asks about trajectories and traces of solidarity practices and Third Worldism and the role of Contemporary art practices for and within this concepts. > www.tricontinentale.net |
