The 2018/2019 lecture series Violence in the Arts analyses how forms of violence from modernity persist in and through the arts into the present day. Presented by the DFG Research Training Group “Knowledge in the Arts” the series critically retraces reconfigurations of intertwined forms of racist and sexualized violences. Which genealogies condition contemporary modes of violence, and how do the arts uncover traditions of subjugation, objectification, and aggression? What knowledge, experience, and attitudes about forms of violence are conveyed in the histories of theater, performance art, film, photography, music, or architecture? How have spectacles of violence been aesthetically staged, and how do they continue to be staged, and with what artistic strategies has effective criticism of existing violence been formulated? The series examines arts as agents in, and as repositories of knowledge about relations of violence. Each lecture takes a critical look at both the arts, and the discourses produced in and through them for the (re)production of violent political-economic-social orders.

Black Athena Collective (Heba Y. Amin and Dawit L. Petros, Visual Arts, Berlin/Chicago): Regimes of Passage
(In English / Vortrag und Diskussion auf englischer Sprache)
Black Athena Collective is a research and artistic laboratory for experimentation that engages political discourse and practices of spatial construction connected to the Red Sea region from Eritrea to Egypt. It looks specifically at the architectures of migrancy and the various frameworks of space and territorial demarcations in relation to errant bodies. The collective draws from challenges posed by Martin Bernal’s thesis which questions methodological assumptions embedded within Western historiography. Through multi-disciplinary perspectives including geography, sociology and history Black Athena Collective raises the question of migration as a crucial principle for imaging new conventions of territory. Central to their investigations are the reconstitution of political spaces and the various architectures and forms of reterritorialization. Black Athena Collective was founded in 2015 by artists Heba Y. Amin (EGY) and Dawit L. Petros (ER/CA).
