CANCELLED: Summer School "Decolonial Displacements"

Update: The Summer School will not take place in September – further information to follow.

The summer school is a collaboration between the Centre for African Studies and eikones. Decolonial displacements describes a space of inquiry that attends to the ways in which climate change, technological transformation, large-scale mobility and displacement, the complexities of race, gender, identity and belonging, and the fragility of global political orders shift and transform the grounds on which we experience, encounter, theorise and make sense of images across disciplines, institutional spaces, methodologies, and practices of knowledge production. We ground these broad debates in an encounter and exchange with local and international artists, curators, and scholars. Our point of departure are several art exhibitions and creative events to be launched in various institutions in Basel in late 2023 and early 2024. The summer school will include close readings of selected texts, group discussions, and joint visits of exhibitions and art events.

The Summer School is open to MA and PhD students in African Studies and Art History/eikones. Readings and discussions will be in English. The Summer School is a collaboration between the Centre for African Studies and eikones. Organized by Lorena Rizzo and Kadiatou Nenein Diallo.
