What it is that we mean, when we talk about the museum, contemporary arts,the decolonial in the arts or about decolonizing the arts and the end of the contemporary?

In this episode of Kitchen Broadcast, we have lunch  with Lara Khaldi and Rolando Vazquez, to discuss Rolando’s new book ‘Vistas of Modernity. Decolonial Aesthesis and the End of the Contemporary.’ and Lara her recent curatorial work and reflections on the archive, the museum, the Palestine Museum in particular and the email essay she wrote to Mette Edvardsen on the Phantom Archive .

Kitchen Broadcast is an ongoing online conversation that proposes to listen to different voices, different rhythms and different sounds, reflecting on present situations that intersect in Brussels, curated by Joachim Ben Yakoub and Reem Shilleh.

Decolonial Aesthesis, the Phantom Archive and the End of the Museum

For the fourth episode of Kitchen Broadcast, we had lunch with Bojana Cvejic and Yazan Khalil and took the time to talk and exchange ideas about the infrastructural conditions and ways of hosting, (under)commoning and insituting otherwise, starting from both their practices in setting up different spaces and places.

Bojana Cvejić is on of the co-founders, together with Jan Ritsema and still an active member of PAF (Performing Arts Platform)a residency in a small villange St Erme in France close to the Belgian border. She is also, among many other things, active in TkH (Walking Theory platform) an independent, institutionally non-aligned, extra-academic platform for performing theoretical-artistic activism.

Yazan Khalili engaged in the transformation of Khalil Sakakini Cultural Center in between 2015 and 2019 in Ramallah, Palestine, and continued his reflections on processes of instituting through different projects, among many other things, the QAF or the Question of Funding and Aka, a space hosting a decentralized network of self-organizing and grassroots collectives in Kassel.

Kitchen Broadcast is an ongoing online conversation that proposes to listen to different voices, different rhythms and different sounds, reflecting on present situations that intersect in Brussels, composed by Joachim Ben Yakoub and Reem Shilleh. 

It is produced with the kind support of Kaaitheater, a stage for dance, theater, performance, music and debate in Brussels.

De Vaartkapoen kon tijdens de quarantaine geen Music Talks live organiseren, daarom gingen we digitaal! De eerste Music Talks podcast is een feit. Voor deze editie gingen we in gesprek met producer Sofyann Ben Youssef (Ammar 808), composer-zangeres Laryssa Kim en programmator Rrita Jashari. Wat bracht/brengt de quarantaine teweeg bij hen en hoe zien zij de toekomst van de maatschappij en muzieksector?

Le Vaartkapoen n'a pas pu organiser de Music Talks en direct pendant la quarantaine mais nous sommes passé au numérique !!! Nous lançons ici  notre podcast Music Talks.

Pour cette édition, nous nous sommes entretenus avec le producteur Sofyann Ben Youssef (aka Ammar 808), la compositrice et chanteuse Laryssa Kim et la programmatrice Rrita Jashari.

Un podcast confiné sur le theme du confinement ? Comment ont-ils vécu cette drôle de période ? Comment envisagent-ils l'avenir de la société et du secteur de la musique ? Bonne écoute"

The legacies of colonialism tend to find expression in a language that contemporary audiences find familiar and compelling, and hence remain largely unquestioned. In the run-up to the conference The White West IV: Whose Universal? (summer 2021), the podcast invites participants of the conference to discuss the overlaps between metaphysical predicates and colonial formations.
