Series: herbst-Akademie 2016

As part of the herbst academy 2016, steirischer herbst is once again running four new workshops – this year by Jochen Becker & Daniel Kötter, who with their research and art project “Chinafrika. Under Construction” analyze the cultural relations between China and the African continent, furthermore by Marianne Bechhaus-Gerst, professor of African Studies, by the Mexican-Dutch sociologist Rolando Vazquez and by Marjetica Potrč, Slovenian artist and architect based in Ljubljana and Berlin.

Students and interested people from the fields of arts and theory are invited to investigate Europe’s current state from a postcolonial and decolonial perspective and to reflect on the artworks on show at the herbst festival. The four workshops take place in the days before this year’s herbst conference “Welcome to the former West”, which will take place on Sat 08/10 & Sun 09/10.
