Ringvorlesung “Un/Einladende Gesten: Politiken des Willkommens und Verweigerns in Kunst und Kultur“
Mit Fernanda Ermelindo Rodrigues / Amanda Piña: “Crashing the Party: Entering Uninvited, Decolonial Ancestry, and the White Gaze”
Fernanda Ermelindo Rodrigues opens the session with an autoethnographic account of violences and exclusions experienced within the field of dance in Brazil. This narrative is juxtaposed with a close reading of a 1985 newspaper article by a prominent Brazilian dance critic controversially claiming the lack of a dance tradition in the country, revealing colonial assumptions embedded in the construction of “Brazilian dance”. Drawing on decolonial theory and Brazilian anthropology, the presentation examines how coloniality persists in aesthetic regimes and critical reception. The session then expands into a conversation with invited artist Amanda Piña about her work Exótica – On the Brown History of European Dance and broader questions of exoticization, ancestry, and the white gaze in contemporary performance.
This session will be held in English.17:00 o’clock
