Memories & Resistance

Current and former residents at PACT provided insights into artistic working processes. With Idylla Silmarovi, Edgar Kanakykõ Xakriabá, iSaAc Espinoza Hidrobo, Roman Jungblut and Qusay Awad.

Bringing together artistic positions that engage in various ways with political struggles against land grabs, invisibilization, and appropriation, ›Memories & Resistance‹ gives voice to the absent, overlooked, and forgotten. Memory is experienced and embodied as a potential present, as opposed to a past manifested in architecture and monuments. In their artistic inquiries, they resist eviction and marginalization, search for queer ancestors and their own place within hegemonic historiography.
