Deze lezing-performance is een voortzetting op de aannames en subjectiviteiten die BAK 2017–2018 Fellow Ola Hassanain heeft verzameld in haar project Back and Forth (2016–doorlopend).

Het project vraagt hoe we de ruimte van gendercollectieven opnieuw kunnen vormgeven om beleid onder bepaalde machtsstructuren te bevragen. Vervolgens is de vraag hoe deze politieke dialogen een transitie van privé- naar publieke sfeer kunnen bewerkstelligen. Door middel van performatieve gebaren vormt deze lezing-performance een moment van overdracht van een manier van politieke dialoog uit Khartoem.

Onderdeel van Propositions #1: What We Mean.

Using the sancocho (a pan-Latin American soup with no fixed recipe) as a tool for research and encounter, Mercado Lourdes (Bogotá, Colombia) will host and organize a series of field meals. These events activate and connect the multiple affects that have resulted from ongoing research with local producers into the biodiversity of the territory.

In all continents, people have built matriarchal cosmologies sustained by complex rituals. In the advent of main modern religions and after centuries of colonizing invasions, the goddesses of antiquity were suppressed by the patriarchal structures that consolidated our era. However, they found ways to speak to us in the language of patterns, melodies, and poems. This workshop uses the voice as a method to reveal the presence of goddesses.

During these sessions—part of the bASIC aCTIVIST kITCHEN (b.a.k.) program in collaboration with Berend Bombarius, De Voorkamer and BAK, basis voor actuele kunst—we want to collectively explore the topic of setting up community kitchens. Different strategies, tools, methodologies, and contexts are explored to learn more about the challenges and opportunities in the practices and theories of community kitchens.
