Firma la petizione 61st Venice Biennale: Stop the Normalization of War Crimes Through Art

Somehow politics finds its way into art… so here’s a petition

61st Venice Biennale: Stop the Normalization of War Crimes Through Art

Among the many things that disturb one about German politics is how narrow & selective the population is that Germany assumes it needs ‘forgiveness’ from (as well as how coercively-conditionally the state seeks its exoneration and impunity, which ironically tells on how little has actually changed)

How Germany’s unusual approach to fighting antisemitism is ensnaring Jews who are critical of Israel - Jewish Telegraphic Agency Jewish critics of the Israeli government say they will be punished by a proposed ban on pro-Palestinian slogans.

“What Germany is saying now is actually that Germany worked through its past, and now Germany can go back to business as usual... We were punished by the Allies, but now it’s over, we are good again, because the Jews forgave us.’ And the Jews, for them, that’s Israel.” www.jta.org/2026/03/04/g...

Feels like high time for a more conscious and collective critical East-European awakening/uprising in so many aspects of politics, thinking and life, and far beyond the level of governments that many of us have already opposed for years now

The equation between protecting lives in ‘the East-European buffer zone’ and annihilating them in the Middle Eastern kill zone certainly makes some Western values explicit, including the context into which several of the ‘allies’ immediately offered to send their armies to ‘help.’ Message received.

Londoners!
There's still time to make plans to come to Aziza Kadyri's talk tonight at SSEES.
Aziza is an artist known for her beautiful, emotive rendering of identities, fragmented past and second-hand nostalgia. She's a tireless archivist of diasporic embodied knowledge, memories and feelings. <3

Inspiring. Seseg gave a very sincere, vulnerable and touching talk at our last @associationruta.bsky.social conference in Ukraine and I encourage everyone to see her illustrations. She has a book coming up on Buryat struggles under Russian colonialism and her own journey after forced Russification

What an interesting exhibition on anti-nuclear solidarities: The historical Nevada-Semey anti-nuclear movement sought to undo precisely this obscuring by uniting affected communities from Kazakhstan and the United States, successfully ending Soviet nuclear testing in 1989

Calling Central Asianists! CFP for the conference “Soviet Central Asia as a Totalitarian Testing Ground” in Warsaw, 15-17 June, is now open. Some travel funding available.

Well…we’re raising those issues and telling the US left to take them up if they want to do genuinely antioppressive politics, as that’s their own responsibility. What we’re doing here with my Turkmen Qazaq coauthor is furthering epistemic reparations for our leading liberation thinkers and movements

We are trying to address some of the issues stemming from ‘dissonant’ legacies of racialization and colonial oppression in our latest text with Selbi Durdiyeva On Collateral Damage, Selective Anti-Imperialism and the Path to Liberation

@tnflorvil.bsky.social I was thinking that maybe this text linked above could be of interest. Also notifying @vethompson.bsky.social, the paper you heard me present at the conference on Angela Davis’s philosophy in Bergen is out now. Thanks for the questions and discussion on those complex issues

The critical discussions we need to have… Such as about the eulogy to Stalin by W.E.B. Du Bois, whose work is crucial to critical race and decolonial scholarship, yet, this selective decoloniality does grave injustice to the liberation struggles of Central & Northern Asia, & Europe’s East

OTD in 1940, as part of "protecting them from fascism", Stalin signed the order to murder 22,000 Polish officers in Katyn. Like our recent crimes, we blamed nazis. This is Stalin writing "approved" on their death warrant.

Imagine crimes against humanity on this scale today..

New perspectives on Romani pasts, presents and futures YouTube video by The Ruta Association

This was a very, very interesting The RUTA Association webinar. I learned a lot and ordered these two books for the Helsinki University library. Can't wait to read them. Highly, highly recommended www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_85...

Yanar Mohammed: Remembering Iraq s prominent feminist and lifelong defender of women s rights Yanar Mohammed’s life was defined by activism, protection of the vulnerable, and refusal to stay silent — cut short this month by the violence she fought to end

“Yanar’s legacy will be remembered and live on not only through all the women and girls that she helped, but also all the activists she inspired and trained“

Tanya Tagaq - Retribution YouTube video by TanyaTagaqVEVO

Just saw Tanya Tagaq at Berghain, years after her great gig at Dark Mofo in Tasmania. Here’s to the power of women’s throat singing and a total commitment to embracing the demonic weird, all while explaining where the exits are for anyone who might be bothered by it 🔥 💀

This was such an important discussion and I cannot recommend these books enough! It’s particularly vital to read them together. Do prompt your libraries to order them, they are incredible sources for teaching and further research on justice, history, philosophy, art, literature, cultures…

New perspectives on Romani pasts, presents and futures YouTube video by The Ruta Association

Here is a recording of our last RUTA webinar. The discussion revolved around new paradigm shifting books by @magdamatache.bsky.social & @madelinepotter.bsky.social, who revisit Romani histories, rethink how they’re theorised with and envision the path to racial justice

I just attended a panel with Natali at Cafe Kyiv, where she emphasised the active participation of the Romani people in Ukrainian defence and emphasised the need for the state and institution to recognise the crucial socio-political role of the Roma in the Ukrainian society

According to Tomenko, the current war on Ukraine is revealing a deeper historical parallel. The Roma families, who survived the German Nazi occupation and genocide, are now facing a 2nd war in their lifetime, with many Roma fighting in Ukraine’s defense against the ongoing genocidal Russian invasion

Very bad news

And to think that until now some of us were so blessed not knowing of the existence of this guy…
