WS 25/26 / Reading Circle

Starting in December 2025, our reading circle will introduce the concepts of coloniality and decoloniality, reflecting on their implications for artistic practice. We will seek to understand the conditions that made the racist epistemological underpinnings alluded to in previous readings possible. It is impossible to think of the figures of the ‘stranger’ (Baldwin) or the ‘master’ (Lorde) without considering colonialism and coloniality. By doing so, we will begin to question our own assumptions and develop a nuanced critique that considers historical developments.
