Start Up Lectures – Innsbruck

Start Up Lectures 2014–15

The current fellows of the International Fellowship Program for Art and Theory, the artists Bisan Abu-Eisheh (Palestine), Annalisa Cannito (Italy), Raja’a Khalid (Saudi Arabia) und Emma Wolukau-Wanambwa (Great Britain), will be focusing on work projects concerned with questions of social memory, the formation of which ‒ in the global north ‒ is shaped decisively by post-colonial amnesias.

The fellows will present their work and their projects for the coming months in the context of the Start Up Lectures 2014–15 on October 17th, 2014

Annalisa CANNITO: In the Belly of Fascism and Colonialism

In Büchsenhausen Annalisa Cannito (*1984) will continue her artistic investigations into the current relevance of the relations between fascism and colonialism in Italy and Europe as a whole. Not least, it is a matter of tracing and visualising the reasons for silence over these issues in public discourses in Italy. To this purpose, among other things Cannito will work together with first and second generation migrants from Libya, Somalia, Eritrea and Ethiopia.
