PAST EVENTS
Thursday April 20, 2017
At Salon de lecture Jacques Kerchache, Musée du Quai Branly-Jacques Chirac
Navigate through vibration: Qalqalah, A reader
For this second event taking place at the Salon de lecture Jacques Kerchache, Antariksa, historian and co-fonder of KUNCI - Cultural Studies Centre (Yogyakarta, Indonesia) presents his research, led during his residency at la Maison des Sciences de l’Homme in the framework of the Global South(s) fellowship.
In continuity with his contribution for the second issue of Qalqalah, which focused on commoning (a central notion in learning, doing and living-together processes), Antariksa presents the Paris-based Japanese artists’s experience at the beginning of the 20th century and their interactions with artist collectives in the french capital, from 1914 to 1945. With this subject, Antariksa evokes the transmission’s paths from a parisian "occidental" esthetic to Indonesia through Japan, but also the modalities of this transmission : the way it has been done, and had influenced visually the memory of the two World Wars in Japan and Indonesia.

Collaborative dinner and conversation with Françoise Vergès and Antariksa.
From 7 PM to 9.30 PM
Collaborative dinner and conversation with Françoise Vergès (Chaire Global South(s) du Collège d’études mondiales/FMSH) and Antariksa (historian, 2017 laureate of the research grant from Chaire Global South(s), Collège d’études mondiales/FMSH and co-founder KUNCI Cultural Center, Yogyakarta, Indonesia).
In the framework of Nuit des Débats de la Ville de Paris, in collaboration with Chaire Global South(s), Collège d’études mondiales/FMSH.
How does one contribute - as a researcher or as an institution- to the construction of a necessary decolonial thought of the narratives and the regions of the world? This long-term questioning, commonly found at both Villa Vassilieff art center and at the Fondation Maison des Sciences de l’Homme research center, unites politician Francoise Vergès and historian Antariksa at the third Night of Debates.
Registering at the heart of the Autohistorias program, that brings together the discursive exhibitions and projects from Bétonsalon - Center of art and research and from Villa Vassilieff in 2017 around the drive to “grasp the complexity of our social identities, to encourage the diversity of perspectifs and to redefine which voices should be heard - and to finally regain our institutions” (statement from Melanie Bouteloup, more information here), the conversation will be produced in different collective forms, with alternative narratives, using the experience of the cultural center KUNCI, co-founded by Antariksa in Yogyakarta (Indonesia) as a starting point.
