For further understanding of decolonial methods and methodology – continuously pursued in my artistic research and practice – I started to develop and curate a series of research seminars in Spring 2015. Throughout these forums, different thoughts on de coloniality, hospitality practices, pluriversalism, diversity, migration politics and knowledge are embraced. The main idea is to invite artists, curators and researchers from diverse practices and fields to engage in conversation, promote and foster colla borations for the development of such queries and practices within contemporary art. The series is aimed primarily for Academy Valand students and local art practitioners and students and scholars at the Critical Heritage, Gender, Cultural and Global Studi es faculties. The seminars are free and open for a wider public in the city as well. Another main concern is to encourage the formation of south -­‐ to -­‐ south dialogues that are very marginal in the segregated institution of the Univers ity of Gothenburg and its city. For ‘ Practices and Notions of The Migrant Ima ge’ the invited artists presented their artistic research and practices, addressing questions regarding politics and aesthetics, mediums and mobility, socioeconomic difference and emancipatory artistic ab ilities – with special focus on the (re)construction of different notions of the migrant image and how artistic practices potentially re -­‐ define Otherness. The speakers were: Daniel Baker (UK), Geir Tore Holm (Sámi/NO), Paula Urbano (SE); and Louise Wolther s (DK). Louise Wolthers was invited to moderate the seminar based on her interesting research practice, lately based on a project on lens -­‐ based surveillance technologies, practices and ethics. Daniel Baker was invited to consider his research with the 'Ro ma model’ and Roma aesthetics: to respond and expand on whether notions on nomadic sensibility, extra -­‐ territoriality and emancipating methods behind the Roma model, could potentially be interpreted onto other decolonial practices (or minorities ). Geir Tore Holm was invited to reflect on his project ‘Poetics for Changing Aesthetics’: to expand on the question of indigeneity as being part of the migration question or group, as well as when indigeneity is not considered in the construction of nation, its plura l and individual identity and possibly its nomadic heritage. Paula Urbano was invited to present her film project 'Flyktingen av den sorgliga skepnaden’ (2015), expanding on her artistic methodologies used in the production of her film as well as in other projects, when depicting but also modifying a migrant image or an image of Otherness. During the day preceding the seminar, her film was screened hourly. The seminar marked as an important lead for my artistic research considering decolonial discourse at and throu gh the academy, also considering the [para]curatorial practice experienced. The series will hopefully continue and develop into bigger and wider assemblies hopefully providing room and thought for collaboration, discussion and research towards dec oloniality within contemporary art practices.
