IBA Conversations: How to unlearn and how to learn

May 28, 2021
4:00pm – 5:30pm (London)

In times like these more than ever we have the need and duty, as biennial institutions and individuals, to engage in a constant process of unlearning and learning from the world around us. It is with this in mind that we are very honoured to have Françoise Verge with us for our next IBA Conversations. Throughout her career she has continuously shown an attention and commitment to an understanding of the art world as a complex space in need of constant reflection and renewal.

Françoise Vergès, of Reunion Island, founding member of Decolonize the Arts (Paris), author, independent curator, antiracist and decolonial feminist. Currently convening BAK/La Colonie Nomad School « Fragments of Repair » in Paris and the Decolonial Atelier in Situ,  recent publications: of The Wombs of Women. Capitalism, Race, Gender (Duke UP, 2020); Une théorie féministe de la violence (La Fabrique, 2020), A Decolonial Feminism (Pluto, 2021).

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.
