SON[I]A #206. Fatima El-Tayeb
Deleted scenes
We dig up some unreleased fragments of the interview with Fatima El-Tayeb that we were unable to include the first time around.
Els Opsomer
The Belgian artist Els Opsomer talks about what travel and territories mean in her way of conceiving art, about how she builds up her archive and how it, in turn, generates her work.
Rasha Salti
Rasha Salti talks about the methodology of unearthing images that she uses in her research, and about some of its repercussions. Her postcolonial analysis of artistic production in modernism favours new narratives about the former East and West.
Marina Gržinić
Marina Gržinić talks about amnesia, aphasia, and seizure, about biopower and necropolitics, about borders and volumes, corpus and corpses, about deathscapes, intestines, and holograms, and about the disturbing miniaturisation of affect and empathy, as a process that runs parallel to technological acceleration.
Fatima El-Tayeb
Fatima El-Tayeb talks about the need to reassess Europe’s internalist narrative and the discourse of integration. She evaluates the role of race in the construction of this account and argues for the creation and recovery of archives as a strategy for developing other types of narratives.
