Don Orione Cultural Centre, Venice
April 2022
Stan Douglas will be in conversation with aabaakwad, an indigenous delegation to the 59th Biennale di Venezia that is associated with the Sámi Pavilion, on Friday, April 22, at 12:00 PM, alongside artists Sonia Boyce, Zineb Sedira, Yuki Kihara, and moderated by iniva artistic director Sepake Angiama. The event will take place at the Don Orione Cultural Centre, and will focus on the following question: “What is nation?” Organized by iniva (Institute of International Visual Arts) in partnership with aabaakwad, the talk is a part of DRIFT, a post-national digital pavilion that troubles the notion of working within the constructions of nation and nationhood. This conversation will open up the possibility of thinking about moving beyond boundaries and borders of land and water and thinking through what is carried in the body to m/otherlands to forge post-national identities, communities, and formations of new fluid subjectivities. The event is free and guests will be welcomed on a first come, first served basis. Learn more at iniva.
