Frederikke Hansen: Rethinking Nordic Colonialism: A Postcolonial Exhibition Project in Five Acts

Zeit: Mittwoch, 4. July, 20.00 Uhr
Ort: aRtmosphere, Holochergasse 32/Top I, Eingang Plunkergasse, A-1150 Wien

Das Projekt Rethinking Nordic Colonialism erstreckt sich über acht Länder im Norden und setzt sich in Ausstellungen, Performance-Events, öffentlichen Diskussionsveranstaltungen und Tagungen mit den heutigen Auswirkungen des nordischen Kolonialismus auseinander.

Vortrag (in dt. Sprache): Through curating and writing, Frederikke Hansen has been engaging feminist and queer politics within Western contemporary art since the mid-1990s. Situating herself and her practice in a critical dialogue with fellow cultural workers and activists, she is steadily developing a curatorial methodology that is consistent with her social and ethico-political principles. In short, her principles and practice could be described as deconstructing privilege. Part of that process entailed emigrating from increasingly xenophobic and right-leaning Denmark and settling in Kreuzberg, Berlin in 1997 and, eight years later, founding the curatorial platform Kuratorisk Aktion together with Tone Olaf Nielsen.
