Symposium: "Ruptures and lines - conversations about origins"
The symposium "Ruptures and Lines - Conversations about Origins" is part of this year's tour of the Kunsthochschule Kassel. Representatives from the fields of art, culture, activism and science will come together here to talk about social positions, origins and exclusions. The guests are: Senthuran Varatharajah, BENGI e.V., Barış Yüksel, Talya Feldmann, Danijel Matijevic, tbc, Romy Rüegger, Andrea Brummack, Pia Stendera and Lin Hierse.
The symposium is the result of the interdisciplinary project seminar "Origin" and an exhibition developed from it with students from the Kunsthochschule Kassel under the direction of Prof. Peggy Buth and Holger Jenss. The exhibition "Origin" can also be seen in the exhibition hall of the Kunsthochschule Kassel (30.6.- 28.7.) parallel to the tour.
In the seminar, we dealt with the interrelationships between social origin, class, classism, identity formation, visibility, recognition and autosociobiographical writing. To begin with, we explored text-based, filmic and photographic narratives about social origin. We then reflected on our own experiences in order to develop possible courses of action.
With the symposium, we want to create a space for direct exchange. It is important to us to think of origin in the plural and to link different perspectives with each other: where are the points of contact, continuities, breaks and ambiguities? The symposium was developed by the students Lea Rist, Magdalena Bernard, Johanna Brummack and Andreia Bickenbach.
