We Are What We Lost<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

November 7-16, 2014<\/em><\/p>\n

We Are What We Lost<\/em> closed the research cycle “Catastrophe & Heritage” (2012-14) where OuUnPo has investigated crisis, conflict and how these affect our perception of temporality and culture.\u00a0<\/i>Over the span of ten days, the session\u00a0researched\u00a0the painful legacy of European colonialism and the eradication of Indigenous culture through artistic and theoretical interventions.\u00a0We Are What We Lost<\/em> became a platform where “disappearance” has been explored as a metaphor and research question. With a continuous reference\u00a0to the disruptive history of \u00a0Brazil, the session looked at how loss influences our being in the present as well as our dialogue with the past. How do we take in voids and vestiges to generate sense and revisit memory? How do ruptures and new constellations affect our experience and understanding of time and temporality?<\/p>\n

Some highlights of the program<\/strong><\/p>\n

The session formed an immersive and itinerant palimpsest of events co-organized with a great number of local contributors, spaces and institutions. The group approached local collections in an interrogative manner but also worked with impromptu situations, urban explorations as well as other forms of interventions in informal contexts.\u00a0The rich program included lectures by renown Brazilian theorists\u00a0such as philosopher Peter P\u00e1l Pelbart and anthropologist Pedro Cesarino, performances in museums (Per H\u00fcttner at Pinacoteca of the State of S\u00e3o Paulo, Jacopo Miliani at Centro Cultural de S\u00e3o Paulo) and independent spaces (Elena Nemkova at Kunsthalle S\u00e3o Paulo, Claudia Squitieri and Pauline Curnier Jardin at Vila Itoror\u00f2, Mauricio Ianes at Casa do Povo) as well as video screenings proposed\u00a0by Video Brazil and lecture-performances by artists (Samon Takahashi at Casa do Povo, Clara Ianni at the Museum of Modern Art). Hosted by\u00a0the legendary Teatro Oficina, we had the possibility of\u00a0screening for the first time in Brazil unseen footage\u00a0documenting the struggle of Native Americans in the late seventies. Shot by independent\u00a0film-maker Andrea Tonacci the recordings describe an urgent moment in the history of indigenous activism in the Americas against imperial-colonial powers and institutions. Following their production, the videos were housed in Tonacci\u2019s private archive, unseen by the public. Artists Maria Thereza Alves and Jimmie Durham have together with art historian Richard Hill reactivated this archive through a live presentation and contextualization of a selection of Tonacci\u2019s materials during the Berlin Documentary Forum in 2014. The screening has been introduced and contextualized by contemporary Guarani activists Giselda Pires de Lima and Poty Poran\u00a0and has been documented by a\u00a0group of students from the Guarani community of the state of S\u00e3o Paulo.\u00a0The event marked one of the rare times that Guarani representatives are invited to speak about their cause in a major cultural institution in S\u00e3o Paulo.<\/p>\n
