Switzerland Looking Outward in the Age of Enlightenment<\/em>, which opened one year ago at the Palais de Rumine in Lausanne and presented research carried out at the University of Bern.<\/p>\n<p>The contemporary artworks gathered in <em>Fragments&amp;Absences<\/em> question the notions of memory, absence, and survival. Through a participatory installation named <em>Bateauth\u00e8que<\/em>, Marie van Berchem seeks to facilitate access to decolonial knowledge and create a space for thinking about anti-racist, feminist, and ecological issues. Fabien Clerc appropriates and redesigns a Limoges porcelain dinner service to commemorate the Haitian Revolution (1791-1804). The performance <em>Women Telling the Future<\/em> (Vana Kostayola and Sofia Kouloukouri) invites visitors to a coffee fortune-telling session in order to perform a series of symbolic journeys of introspection. In her film <em>Disappearing Africans<\/em>, Senam Okudzeto sheds light on the erasure of African people and their voices from history. Uriel Orlow&#8217;s installation <em>Geraniums Are Never Red<\/em> emphasizes the ubiquity of colonial heritage in our daily lives and the blind spots of our (self)-perception.<\/p>\n<p>More here: https:\/\/www.grandpalais.ch\/fragments-absences\/<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fragments&amp;Absences is an exhibition plus a ten-day festival with artworks by Marie van Berchem, Fabien Clerc, Senam Okudzeto, and Uriel Orlow, as well&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2591,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2589","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/theexotic.ch\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2589","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/theexotic.ch\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/theexotic.ch\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theexotic.ch\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theexotic.ch\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2589"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/theexotic.ch\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2589\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2593,"href":"https:\/\/theexotic.ch\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2589\/revisions\/2593"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theexotic.ch\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/2591"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/theexotic.ch\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2589"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theexotic.ch\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2589"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theexotic.ch\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2589"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
