Bronwyn Bailey-Charteris' Lecture: Curating the Hydrocene


 Topic Tags: watery thinking response-ability bodies of water environmental humanities indigenous knowledge


The lecture will present a historical understanding of Hydrofeminism and its contemporary relations to the curatorial and artistic practice. The Hydrocene is leaky and relational, and amplifies the often unexamined perspectives on the interrelation of art, water, and intersectional feminisms
in relation to the climate crisis. Through gaining a deeper understanding of these artists' and curators' practices with water, the Hydrocene offers up a model for engaging with embodiment and response-ability (Haraway, 2016) to the interconnected zone of nature-culture. 


  •  Leaky vessel, watery thinking
  • Who do you invite into our leaky craft?
  • Thinking with water: way of research within the environmental humanities field, feminist new materialisms and indigenous knowledges
  • Core texts: Virginia Wolf’s The Waves, Rachel Carson’s The Sea Around Us, Paul Blackwell’s Undercurrent, Thinking with Water
  • Water as a metaphor but also water as material
  • How do some artists and curators think with water in their practice?
  • How does thinking with water develop artistic response-ability to the climate crisis?
  • Donna Harraway’s Situated Knowledges
  • How do you develop an ability to respond?
  • Astrida Neimanis’ Bodies of Water
  • Hydrofeminism: On Becoming a Body of Water

SEMINAR by Kirsten Maar (Germany): New Schools: New Formats of Teaching and Mediating Topic Tags: emancipated spectator ignorant master How do we know what we know? How do we learn from each other? How do we deal with knowledge on an ethical level? And, how can we develop alternative forms of learning? Or establish “ecologies of practice” (Stengers)? Close to critical curatorial practice the field of mediation and teaching, the workshop-seminar asks for its own conditions, it looks at ways of mediating and producing knowledge in the cultural field beyond disciplines, within collaborative, practice-based and diverse research methods. We will work, based on short texts and material distributed beforehand (Moten/Harney, Manning et al..), starting with an input in the form of a lecture, going on in smaller working groups and then altogether to finally develop an adequate form of presentation.

  About the International Summer School “Curating in Context” 2021 The Lokomotiva team is pleased to announce the start of the second edition of the Summer School “Curating in Context” that offers critical reflection on diverse socio-political and economic contexts, as well as the possibility to develop curatorial methods to rethink the practices of contemporary (performing) arts in relation to activism, self-organization, and critical thinking. Thematically, “Curating in Context” is related to the question of the curatorial and its extended understanding, which goes beyond black or white box presentation and representation politics. The school analyzes the environment in which art is produced and disseminated, and it focuses on the creation of knowledge and opportunities for practitioners who want to pursue their career as curators in the field of performing arts and interdisciplinary approaches.
