Pogovori o naši preteklosti in razkritje predsodkov in učinkov, ki jih sproža kolonialna zgodovina in imajo močan učinek na naše delovanje, postajajo v zadnjih letih vse pomembnejši. Na tej razpravi bomo temo dekolonizacije razpirali skozi prizmo dualizma med vzhodno in zahodno Evropo ter koncepta estetskih predsodkov in učinkov, ki jih ima ta dualizem na kariere umetnic in umetnikov. V času, ko Evropska unija ponuja veliko sredstev in prostora za mednarodna sodelovanja, umetnice in umetniki z Vzhoda in Zahoda domnevno enakopravni vstopajo na isti teren. Kontekst, iz katerega nanj prihajajo vzhodni umetniki in umetnice, je v najboljšem primeru prepoznan z nekakšnim orientalističnim pokroviteljstvom ali popolno ignoranco glede strukturnih pogojev, v katerih producirajo umetniška dela in ki vplivajo na njihovo estetiko. Kako se lahko soočamo s temi procesi, privilegiranimi položaji in začnemo dekolonizirati umetnost tudi v tem kontekstu?

Geoliane Arab se je rodila in odraščala v Libanonu. Sciences Po Paris jo je leta 2015 izbral za WOMED (Ženske Mediterana: Prihajajoča generacija voditeljic). Poleg prava je študirala uprizoritvene umetnosti na Libanonski univerzi, izobraževala se je tudi na polju sodobnega plesa. V času, ko je postopoma prehajala h kulturnemu menedžmentu in mednarodnemu razvoju je sodelovala s številnimi mednarodnimi organizacijami pri mapiranju kulturniške scene v arabski regiji. Trenutno je mednarodna svetovalka pri ONDI (Nacionalni agenciji za umetniško diseminacijo) v Parizu in članica upravnega odbora mreže IETM v Bruslju.
Urška Brodar (1983) je dramaturginja in prevajalka, trenutno zaposlena v Slovenskem mladinskem gledališču v Ljubljani. Predvsem se posveča programu Nove pošte, ki je poskus združevanja moči javnega institucionalnega gledališča z neodvisno gledališko sceno. Nova pošta, ki nastaja v koprodukciji z Masko, je prostor dialoga, srečevanj in soočanj, prostor premisleka širših družbenih dogodkov in odzivov nanje z gledališkimi sredstvi, prostor za eksperimentalno uprizoritveno umetnost in kritični diskurz. Brodar soustvarja predstave, razvija performativne in pogovorne formate.
Grzegorz Reske je umetniški vodja Festivala za uprizoritvene umetnosti SPRING v Utrechtu na Nizozemskem.

In the past years we have been witnessing an increasing importance to speak about our pasts and uncover the effects and biases colonial history has had on our current positions. In this discussion we will try to approach this topic from the point of view of the Eastern vs. Western Europe and the concept of the aesthetic bias and the impact it has on the career of the artists.
At the time when the European Union is offering enormous amounts of space and funding for international collaborations Eastern and Western artists are stepping onto the same terrain, seemingly equal. The context from which Eastern artists are stepping onto that terrain, however, is at best recognised with a sort of patronising orientalism or complete ignorance of the structural conditions in which their art is being created. Those conditions are influencing the produced aesthetics. How do we challenge these processes, positions of privilege, and start decolonising the Arts in this context as well?

Brodar co-devises original theatre, performance and talk formats.
