IBA Conversations: How to Unlearn and How to Learn

IBA Conversations: How to Unlearn and How to Learn

May 28, 2021
4:00pm – 5:30pm (London)

In a moment in which we are experiencing systemic changes at a global level, we are all asked to engage in an unlearning process and critically re-evaluate specific rhetoric, attitudes and approaches held in the past. Our guests this month will bring their experience from biennials across the world to give a sense of how we can deal with these topics through the discourses we select for an exhibition, also what the institutional responsibilities are and how the process of unlearning/re-learning can be built into our own daily strategies. We are extremely happy to have with us to discuss this topic: Natasha Ginwala who recently curated “Minds Rising Spirits Tuning” – the 13^th Gwangju Biennale, Alia Swastika director of Biennale Jogja Foundation, and Françoise Vergès founding member of Decolonize the Arts.

As always, through our IBA Conversations, we hope to initiate a wider discussion between other similar cases to give attendees the occasion to confront each others experiences and struggles and establish a knowledge base to make the model more sustainable.

We hope to see you numerous and interested on May 28^th at 4pm London time!

Those who are interested in joining are asked to register here.

In order for a genuine and frank discussion to take place and due to the sensitivity of some of the subjects to be covered, these events will have limited availability with priority to be given to current members of IBA and those who are interested in joining.
