Telling Tales. Towards Antifascist Futures
Beursschouwburg gathers artists, teachers, researchers and storytellers whose practices resist the monopoly of a single narrative characteristic of fascist rule.
How to be multiple when togetherness is perceived as a threat? How to carry on transmitting quiet narratives when the loud and spectacular take up all the space?
For 'Telling Tales. Towards Antifascist Futures' Beursschouwburg gathers artists, teachers, researchers and storytellers whose practices resist the monopoly of a single narrative characteristic of fascist rule. During three days, we share multiple storylines and testimonies while practising a sense of togetherness through touch, listening and imagination.
We start on Thursday 21st of March with a lecture by Constanza Spina (in French) delving into inclusive, violence-free queer spaces grounded in radical gentleness, followed by a round table on radical pedagogies based on the collective work 'Entrer en pédagogie antiraciste' (SHED publishing, 2023) which analyses the mechanisms and manifestations of racism in school. This discussion is designed and moderated by our associated artists soto labor and nadjim bigou-fathi and will be held in French. The performance by Myriam Lefkowitz enables to experience how it is to sense together in a situation of collective composition and listening that embraces perceptive illusion and the porousness of the body. Book your slot here. And Jota Mombaça shows a newly commissioned video work shot among the mangroves and marshlands in the Brazilian Amazon and conjures up a reversal: what of cities that again turn into swamps, a form of dissolution fascists went in terror of throughout the 20th century.
