We are in the same storm, but we’re not on the same boat | Federica Bueti, Urok Shirhan | Performative Reading in English, duration 45’ |
2-3 October 2024
Neon Foundation, Athens



In times of crisis, it is often said that “we are all on the same boat.” In their book Multitude, Toni Negri and Michael Hardt write this very sentence, referring to the junction of empire and globalization. But is this really the case? After all, you and I do not share the same realities. We co-exist and our lives intersect, but the truth is, we are not the same. We are separated by privilege and the deep scars of inequalities, along with the effects of racial capitalism and slow violence. How, then, do we engage in acts of “togetherness” that acknowledge this “difference” that makes up our difference? What acts of solidarity might be possible that take note of the fact that sometimes we must walk different paths? And what kind of language can we invent to describe something more complex than “togetherness” and subtler than “antagonism”? Through a performative notes exchange, writer Federica Bueti and multidisciplinary artist and researcher Urok Shirhan reflect on questions of language, belonging, and the implications of inhabiting that space of agonism opened by being Together-in-difference.

WORLDING ECOLOGIES SYMPOSIUM 
19 and 20 October, 2024
RADIUS
Center for Contemporary Art and Ecology

Following the recent release of the publication WORLDING ECOLOGIES, published in collaboration with Valiz, RADIUS has the pleasure of inviting you to the two-day WORLDING ECOLOGIES SYMPOSIUM for a series of lectures and panel discussions involving several contributing authors, as well as a convivial launch of the publication. The symposium is aimed at a further discursive unpacking of the different topics addressed by the book’s contributing authors, shaped alongside three panels taking place across two days: Art & Institutional Ecosystems (19 October), Science & Climate Truth (20 October), and Activism & Climate Justice (20 October). The aim of this event is to bring together artist, scholars, curators, philosophers, activists, scientists and every other being interested in discussing worlding-possibility towards worlding a more earthly Earth. Each panel will feature three lecture presentations, followed by dialogue and the possibility of public interaction.



TAVROS/ Around the Shelf
Federica Bueti & Urok Shirhan
11 January 2024


In the upcoming session, we will navigate together the following questions: How do we “listen” and bear witness to loss, to what remains invisible, absent and erased? How do we bear witness to the brutal, bloodless slow violence that defines contemporary forms of life? How do we both make slow violence visible and apprehensible, yet also challenge the privileging of “sight” over other senses? And who bears the social authority of witnessing, which, as Rob Nixon observes in Slow Violence and the Environmentalism of the Poor (2012) entails much more than simply seeing or not seeing?
