#podcast Glitter, sequins, faux flowers... and vultures hiding in the garden. Jamaican artist Ebony G. Patterson on beauty as a Trojan horse: how opulence seduces the eye while refusing to let the "un-visible" disappear.

Bling, grief, the Tivoli Incursion, cockroaches and flies, death as community.

New #podcast 🎙️ Central to AbdouMaliq Simone's work is extensionality — the ways relations stretch across households, neighborhoods, and economies, enabling partial connections and provisional alignments.
Infrastructure isn't only technical; it's social. People become the conduits through which resources circulate and possibilities emerge.

#podcast 📻 Through Mpho Matsipa's inquiry and practice, art and curatorial work become tools for accessing the city (and its uses) differently. By attending to ubiquitous yet often undervalued spaces, such as the hair salon, as sites of survival and imagination in environments where one is not always welcome, she reveals how these spaces disrupt binaries such as center/periphery or formal/informal.

Cord Jefferson – „Amerikanische Fiktion“ (2023)

Der Literaturbetrieb liebt das Elend, solange es sich gut verkauft. Hier wird diese Obsession nicht nur verspottet, sondern seziert. Präzise, Boshaft, und mit einem Lächeln, das schmerzt. Regisseur und Drehbuchautor Cord Jefferson adaptiert den Roman Erasure von Percival Everett und verwandelt ihn in eine bitterkomische Abrechnung mit einem Kulturbetrieb, der Schwarze Erfahrung normiert, verengt und kolonisiert. (ARD, Free-TV-Premiere!)
