SEMINAR - Ruptured Histories: Critical Exchanges on Issues of Decolonisation

Nov 5 & 6, 2022

This seminar aims to achieve a deeper understanding of the complex history and legacy of colonisation from the unique perspective of art critics and art thinkers both from the former colonies and colonising nations.The presenters will examine models that treat history as a dynamic inclusive discipline that is open to reconfiguring knowledge bases and the canon.

The two-day hybrid seminar during the Karachi Biennale will map the decolonisation process
though art, curatorial and discursive interventions with a special focus on South Asia. Speakers from Japan and France will speak on how artists are complicating the official narrative within the former colonial powers.

All presentations will be around 45 minutes and followed by 15 minutes of Q&A. The seminar will be live streamed via Facebook and Youtube.

This is a part of a series of forums proposed by Aica Int. as an FFC Project. The Seminar at Karachi Biennale is in collaboration with Aica Pakistan, Aica Germany and Aica Japan.
