∀ꓤEԀ field trip - Einzelansicht

The field trip to Istanbul is related to the ∀ꓤEԀ seminar on decolonial artistic and architectural research and practice takes place at the invitation of the Pera Museum in Istanbul. The Pera Museum, with its archival collection, neoclassical architecture, and urban setting, provides a “contact zone” for us to engage in a decolonial, decentered history of aesthetic practices and transcultural exchange. Responding to this context, we will evolve a collective exhibition and spatial intervention at the renowned museum in 2024.

∀ꓤEԀ is a collective initiated by the "Practices of Politics of Representation" at the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar. Its aim is to establish a platform for critical collaborative thought, research, and production. By drawing together institutions, schools, students, educators, artists, architects, researchers, and more, it seeks to explore topics beyond the confines of binary distinctions related to gender, language, or space. This initiative invites us to reframe and shift perspectives.
