Cura­ting Voices of Other­ness: Women, non-bina­ry, and trans­gen­der per­sons’ cre­ati­ve resi­lien­ce in a world of wars, cri­ses, and poli­ti­cal tur­mo­il.


Wars, con­flicts, and vario­us cri­ses are never gen­der-neu­tral becau­se they affect the who­le of socie­ty, which is itself not gen­der-neu­tral. Tho­se cri­ses, both social and poli­ti­cal as well as cri­ses of valu­es, affect women, non-bina­ry and trans­gen­der per­sons in a par­ti­cu­lar way due to the inter­sec­tio­nal discri­mi­na­tion they face, which is based on a com­bi­na­tion of vario­us cha­rac­te­ri­stics or iden­ti­ties (migrant or refu­gee women, non-bina­ry and trans­gen­der per­sons, per­sons of color or Roma per­sons, dif­fe­ren­tly-abled per­sons, per­sons in pover­ty cri­sis, aged per­sons, non-hete­ro­se­xu­al per­sons, per­sons with caring respon­si­bi­li­ties, and so on). Asi­de from discri­mi­na­tion, women, non-bina­ry and trans­gen­der per­sons often expe­rien­ce gen­der-based vio­len­ce, espe­cial­ly when they find them­se­lves in situ­ations of pre­ca­ri­ty. Rema­ining silent is a com­mon survi­val stra­te­gy. More­over, women, non-bina­ry, and trans­gen­der per­sons’ voices are often bru­tal­ly silen­ced. Art seems to be the only lan­gu­age ava­ila­ble to be heard. Art, music, and sound beco­me political.


The sym­po­sium will be an inter­di­sci­pli­na­ry discus­sion (both the­ore­ti­cal and prac­ti­cal) on what it means to cura­te and cre­ate under oppres­sion, facing hosti­li­ties and exi­sten­tial pre­ca­ri­ty. We will sha­re and discuss diver­se women, non-bina­ry, and trans­gen­der per­sons’ expe­rien­ces of facing cri­ses, ana­ly­ze what dif­fi­cul­ties mar­gi­na­li­sed per­sons face within the cre­ati­ve sec­tor, and try to under­stand to what extent the­ir cre­ati­ve par­ti­ci­pa­tion can be resi­lient and flu­id in situ­ations of emer­gen­cy. During the two-day sym­po­sium, you will meet cura­tors, acti­vi­sts, and arti­sts inc­lu­ding Elham Puriya Mehr and Ali­cja Czy­czel amongst others, dealing with the ethics of other­ness, with a spe­ci­fic focus on women, trans- and non-bina­ry per­sons in the con­te­xts of music and sound. Some acti­vi­ties will be con­duc­ted in smal­ler wor­king gro­ups (ple­ase, regi­ster using the link below), and some will be open to the gene­ral public.

10:30 INSPIRATIONS: Inspi­ra­tio­nal pre­sen­ta­tions and questions
Elham Puriya Mehr: The Cura­to­rial as an Inter­fa­ce
This lec­tu­re con­cen­tra­tes on the cura­to­rial as an inter­fa­ce that ampli­fies women’s voices in the entan­gle­ment of socio­po­li­ti­cal con­di­tions. An acti­ve, mul­ti­ple, and joint agen­cy that posses­ses poten­tia­li­ties to enco­ura­ge social rela­tions in the extre­me con­di­tion of sepa­ra­bi­li­ty. Cura­to­rial abi­li­ties visu­ali­se invi­si­ble inte­rac­tions and con­ta­in rhy­thm, sound, and embo­di­ment, and ack­now­led­ge them as poli­ti­cal action.

As a case stu­dy, this lec­tu­re reflects on the Woman. Life. Fre­edom move­ment in Iran as a plat­form for eman­ci­pa­ting voices and bodies, and under­li­nes a cura­to­rial role in its awa­ke­ning and con­ti­nu­ity. It raises questions such as: how can the cura­to­rial as an inter­fa­ce slow down or inter­rupt the pre­de­ter­mi­ned pat­terns that mute voices? And how does it mobi­li­se the con­ti­nu­ation of events in the time of protest?
