Anti*colonial Fantasies / Autohistorias of Marginalized Subjects

Im Rahmen der Veranstaltungsreihe "Donnerstags in der Bibliothek" der Universitätsbibliothek der Akademie der bildenden Künste Wien.

?Anti*Colonial Fantasies / Decolonial Strategies? brings together artists from different diasporas, students and lecturers, who engage with a critique of the repercussions of colonialism?including in academia?and the quest for transforming this reality.
Anti*Colonial Fantasies is a student and lecturer initiative that is part of a history of decolonial, postcolonial, antiracist initiatives at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna and within Austria. It belongs to a genealogy of artistic works produced by BPoC (Black and People of Color) and migrant artists that seek to transform the contexts and spaces they occupy. These interventions seek to address colonialism and racism from within the centers of hegemonic Eurocentric knowledge.
?Anti*Colonial Fantasies. Decolonial Strategies? was published by Zaglossus in 2017. With contributions by: Belinda Kazeem-Kami?ski, Gerardo Montes de Oca, Imayna Caceres, Sunanda Mesquita, Verena Melgarejo Weinandt, Amoako Boafo, Stephanie Misa, Sandra Monterroso, Tatiana Nascimento, Ezgi Erol, Firas Shehadeh, Hansel Sato, Sophie Utikal, Rini Mitra, Mariel Rodríguez, Naomi Rincón Gallardo, Cana Bilir-Meier, Pêdra Costa, and Eduardo Triviño Cely.
Imayna Caceres is a Peruvian artist and researcher whose work focuses on the deconstruction of the coloniality of being, power, knowledge and arts, on the effects of systemic racism as well as on Third-world feminism and the Latin American diaspora in Europe. Graduated in Sociology and Media Communication, she is currently finishing the MA in the Post Conceptual Art Practices at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna.
Sunanda Mesquita works as artist and curator. She is focusing on the possibility of a radical utopian, queer, feminist collectivity of Black People and People of Color surrounding the topics of community, solidarity and belonging. She is co-founder of WE DEY, which was awarded 2014 for the KültürGemma! grant. In 2016 she curated the exhibition ?WE DEY show? and ?Anti*colonial Fantasies? together with Imayna Caceres and Sophie Utikal.
Sophie Utikal is a visual artist and writer. She studies fine arts in the class of Ashley Scheirl at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna. In her works she deals with her body, experience of migration, of being in between several worlds and reconfiguring herself all the time.
