5 SEP. 2022 · The colonial education system, led by the ambitions of the Russian Empire (among other European states) in the 19th century, as well as the “secular” pedagogy under the scope of nation-building during the USSR era in the 20th century, contributed to educational reforms imposed on territories inhabited predominantly by Muslim populations.
The lecture “Child education as a strategy of decolonization: language and ethnicity in Jadid and Soviet schools” by the Kazan-based researcher, curator, and educator Artiom Slota juxtaposes these two historical educational reforms under decolonial theory. It explores the pedagogy from the position of the post-Soviet space and shares examples on historical alternatives, such as the “Jadid” schools.

21 FEB. 2022 · On the Arabic writing system’s special features and its challenging encounters with the digital realm.
The Arabic Script is essential to Islam and Muslim life. Not only is it the script of a scripture, the holy Qur’an. Itself, as a script, is considered holy and believed to carry great powers. Out of this special place in Islam superb artistic skills in calligraphy have been developed. Islamic calligraphies adorn sacred sites, book covers, or Muslim supermarkets. Sometimes these calligraphies are easily legible, often not. We may see birds and lions and only on second sight discover that lines form not only eyes, ears and paws but words. It is this seemingly hindered legibility that initially caught Alina Kokoschka's attention and made her ask: What does writing mean if it is not legible? Much more than the words to be deciphered. Much more than words can express.
As a writing system, Arabic has also become part of the Linguistic Landscape of cities like Berlin. People come across writings in Arabic on shop signs, products, posters, and brochures on a daily level. But those familiar with Arabic will discover distorted characters, teared words, destroyed meaning. Again: the Arabic writing is barely legible. This time though it is not for religious reasons. Not for reasons of higher cognition. There is a problem and it is digital all along the line. With examples from East Germany to Western China Alina Kokoschka disentangle intertwined Arabic lines between typographic glitches and Islamic calligraphy, "the art of the line“.

A creative and critically conscious initiative, the Collective invites its audience to think beyond the imaginary cultural boundaries placed upon oneself, share, listen and celebrate the diverse Black and Afro-Iranian histories and points of view.

31 ENE. 2022 · Combining hearsays, histories and speculations, Dr. Mi You talk focus on silk both as an artefact and as cultural metaphor. Desired by the Romans, silk in the antiquity was surrounded by trickery, theft and outlandish cultural imaginations, so popular that it was preferred as a medium of exchange in Central Asia than gold coins issued by the Kushan empire. In China, silk was variously used in lieu of tax, wage and tributary payments. This then opens up a reflection on silk as a currency today, both in the cryptoworld for cross-border transactions and as a cultural currency, seen, for example, in ‘silkpunk’.
Dr. You Mi is a curator, researcher and lecturer at the Academy of Media Arts Cologne. Her long-term research and curatorial projects spin between the two extremes of the ancient and futuristic. She works with the Silk Road as a figuration for deep-time, deep-space nomadic imageries and old and new networks/technologies. Under this rubric, she has curated programs at Asian Culture Center in Gwangju, South Korea, Ulaanbaatar International Media Art Festival, Mongolia (2016), and with Binna Choi, she is co-steering a research/curatorial project “Unmapping Eurasia” (2018-2021). At the same time, her interests in politics around technology and futures led her to work on “actionable speculations”, articulated in the exhibition, workshops and sci-fi-a-thon “Sci-(no)-Fi” at the Academy of the Arts of the World, Cologne (2019), as well as in her function as chair of committee on Media Arts and Technology for the transnational political NGO Common Action Forum. She is one of the curators of the 13thShanghai Biennale (2020-2021).
Her academic interests are in media theory and performance philosophy, science and technology studies, as well as new and historical materialism. She is fellow of Alexander von Humboldt Foundation (Germany), member of the Academy of Arts of the World(Cologne), and serves as director of Arthub (Shanghai) and advisor to Institute for Provocation(Beijing).
