Creating Sarah

Wiels - Contemporary Art Center, Bruxelles

A panel in the framework of the exhibition Body Talk: Feminism, Sexuality and the Body in the Work of Six African Women Artists. These four lectures are conceived to discuss the curatorial and analytical concepts that led to the organization of Body Talk. It addresses the complex legacies of the representation of the black body pervading societal interaction globally and the mythological construction of black female sexuality. It also addresses the passions and contradictions that surround the subject. The over-determination of the African female body through the discussion will situate the genealogy of such constructions and examine the relationship between enduring stereotypes and strategies of liberation through political and social movements, and through art and curatorial practice. 11:00 am Welcome by Dirk Snauwaert. 11:10 Letter to Saartjie, Legacies of stigmatization and stereotyping Koyo Kouoh. 11:40 Sarah Baartman: Epistemologies of Empowerment Pointing towards crucial questions in the representation of the black female body: how do these bodies talk? What do they say? How are they talked about? Frieda Ekotto. 12:20 They Called Her 'Hottentot' A brief history of black buttocks in contemporary art: mourning, pride, and over-identification Eva Barois De Caevel. 13:00 Being the Black Body Exhibition-making as a self-representational narrative Elvira Dyangani Ose. 18:00 Andre' Lepecki: Co-imagining Work/Travail/Arbeid Andre' Lepecki, dance specialist and professor of Performance Studies, will spend one day as close as possible to Work/Travail/Arbeid, and then organize his thoughts as they emerge in the process of experiencing the work.
