Event overview
Breaking the colonial repetition in the Romanian context Talk/Workshop by Dr. Veda Popovic
In this talk and workshop, Dr. Veda Popovici will present the methodology developed throughout the last couple of years in the frame of the final stage of her PhD thesis and through an academic course on decoloniality in the Romanian context. By tracing some of the main colonial dynamics still at work within Eastern Europe, she will look closer into how they influence recent anti-establishment movements in the Romanian context and what are the radical decolonial devices that can destructure them. Based on her engagement with local urban struggles in Bucharest for the past several years, she will explore how the need to be part of history and the acute perception of never being such, drastically contribute to the (un)making of a revolutionary subjectivation. The workshop component shall employ an active involvement of the audience through their own individual experiences of being at the borders of a subjectivation as makers of history.
Dr. Veda Popovici is a political artist, an engaged theorist and a local activist based in Bucharest. Among her most recent artistic projects, the solo show The History of the Art Retraced through the Black Square (Atelier 35, Bucharest, 2015). http://veda-popovici.blogspot.co.uk
