Should #Israel really lose its legitimacy, I think that is in their own hands, but at some point it will be too late. But when it does, there will be a lot of #postcolonial states to #debate.

Unsafe+Sounds 10/22: Cedrik Fermont - EXPERIMENTAL + NOISE MUSIC FROM THE SO-CALLED GLOBAL SOUTH
Presentation at Unsafe+Sounds Festival Vienna, September 28th 2022.

His compositions and installations vary from sound art and electroacoustic to noise, to industrial to more conventional “dance” music such as electronica or acid and so on. He composed music for sound installations, theatre and choreographies. He has toured extensively in Eurasia, Africa and North America, and his main research focuses on electronic, electroacoustic, experimental and noise music from Asia and Africa.

Twice a decade, for exactly 100 days, the world of culture turns its eyes to this midsize German city for #Documenta, a giant exhibition whose intellectual ambitions and hefty budgets have ensured its reputation as the world’s most prestigious show of contemporary #art. This year’s edition got off to a dreadful start in June, when its most prominent artwork, an agitprop mural incorporating unmistakable antisemitic caricatures, had to be withdrawn amid national outcry. The 15th Documenta now comes to a close on Sunday — not before another controversy that has seen artists, scholars and politicians trade accusations of #antisemitism and #racism, harassment and incompetence.
When an organizing committee nominated the Indonesian artist collective #ruangrupa to organize Documenta 15, we knew an old model was dying; we could not guess how fitfully the new would struggle to be born. This was the first time that artists themselves were tasked to organize what had been, until now, the ultimate curator-led, thesis-driven exhibition. And ruangrupa’s core members blew up their collective decision-making into a larger paradigm, inviting dozens of other art collectives to #Kassel, then allowing those collectives to invite participants of their own. The show came together on giant Zoom calls where everyone could forge a big, happy, distributed family they called a lumbung (meaning a rice barn, in Indonesian). This Documenta, unlike any before it, was not about art, or ideas, but about the friends we made along the way — the friends and, indeed, the enemies.

Books I read in 2022 - number 2:
Ken Bugul is a Senegalese novelist, whose book Riwan fascinated and challanged me. She describes the polygamous environment of a village in Senegal and the way the polygamous system is seen from the female perspective. The book kept me very busy and did not let me go.
