CLUSTER 1_THE CITY AND (URBAN) SPACES OF CITIZENSHIP
Diverse (urban) spaces let new figurations of citizenship emerge which put existing binaries of private and public, art and activism, self-organization and governance, citizen and non-citizen into question. These spaces arise out of manifold acts through which diverse protagonists not only claim and challenge the urban as a scene but furthermore implement new relations between city and citizenship by following emancipatory approaches. These protagonists often are active constituents in public debates while struggling with unprogressive stakeholders and representatives of governmental institutions. In this entanglement they are acting on the edge of new-governance practices and are at risk to co-produce an urban development that counteracts emancipatory aims.
But as much as the city is constructed by such social processes, spatial formations and its historical implications, it is also shaped by the narratives and cultural representations of diverse communities which enable forms of belonging, identification and participation. What stories does the city tell, what is the “sound of the city”? And what are artistic strategies that show counter representations or enable a critical reception of hidden narratives in our urban daily life? What are the possibilities, challenges and limits of these practices? Can artistic means and actions support the emergence of new figurations of citizenship? Can they contribute to creating and maintaining new (urban) spaces that allow for a critical representation of citizenship in the city?
Speakers: Katharina Kellermann, Elke Krasny, Sergio Tamayo, Michael Ziehl
Moderation: Kathrin Wildner
Date: Nov 2, 2016, 16.30 – 19.00
CLUSTER 2_ BODIES OF CITIZENSHIP AND BODILY PRACTICES
The present and vulnerable body is at the centre of struggles concerning citizenship in the political and social field. The body itself becomes a battlefield and a space of negotiation in which politics and performativity permanently overlap each other. Therefore the body becomes a space where values, norms and ideologies are constantly negotiated. The panel focuses on the social choreographies and bodily practices that bodies of citizenship rely on. How can bodily art practices challenge existing bodies of citizenship? Within this frame of the panel we will look at both individual and collective strategies that enable us to intervene in political and social processes. How can these strategies be used in order to discover new forms of agency?
Speakers: Alice Lagaay, Liz Rech, Antje Velsinger, N.N.
Moderation: Kerstin Evert
Date: Nov 3, 2016, 10.00 – 12.30
CLUSTER 3_CITIZENSHIP & (NON-) PERFORMANCE – PREMISES / CRITIQUE / SPECULATION
While citizenship is often idealized as a means of emancipation in an exclusive Western discourse, it also serves as a regulatory instrument of domination that relies on things and artifacts to stabilize its rule. The practice of citizenship implicates multiple sutures in the fabric of the common world, thereby articulating differently empowered realms. A contested matrix of subjectivity and personhood – the position of the fully human – regulates which bodies are allowed to move freely and articulate their interests as citizens. Furthermore, any performance of citizenship seems to be predicated on its other, i.e. on other, delegated performances and the exploitation of the very part(s) it excludes. We therefore ask ourselves: How to be aware of the historic violence inherent in the notion of citizenship? Is it possible to shift or weaken the continuing operation of Western hegemonic power that the concept presupposes? And how could performance be the act of renouncing or redistributing agency so that others become present and discernible?
Speakers: Moritz Frischkorn, Thari Jungen, Alan Read, Nikita Dawan
Moderation: Mirjam Schaub
Date: Nov 3, 2016, 13.30 – 16.00
CLUSTER 4_EMERGING AGENCY
To change citizenship is to change subject positions and forms of representations. In micro-practices new subject positions and ways of addressing a public can emerge. How do they become discernible? How to foster, trace and support these invisible agencies beyond already existing logics of citizenship and of performance? How to make neighborhoods, schools, workplaces and cultural institutions hosts for the emergence of new civic agencies? Who invites whom there? Who speaks for whom there? Who invents other spaces – where? Which role do artists and artistic projects play within these processes of emerging citizenship and its negotiation?
Speakers: Maike Gunsilius, Nanna Heidenreich, Darren O’Donell, Constanze Schmidt
Moderation: Sibylle Peters
Date: Nov 4, 2016, 10.00 – 12.30
