Berlin, we should talk 03 - Gabi Ngcobo and Las Nietas de Nonó
Tomáš Vobořil
The alibi of the Czechoslovaks, which historically exempted them from responsibility for the era of European colonialism, is seriously undermined if we take a closer look at some episodes of Czechoslovak history and if we revise the attitude that Czechoslovak citizens took towards colonies and their people and what orientalizing ideas they created. This attitude certainly does not apply only to non-European people and cultures, but also within Europe itself, as Vobořil demonstrates in his work.
A more-than-oceanic perspective is a speculation on perception, emotion, intelligence, and agency. It brings with it a tidal wave of decolonial thought, posthumanism and material feminisms, queer ecologies, media theory, and spirituality, refracting it through interdisciplinary aesthetics and environmental justice.
