Remapping History: The Unwanted Population

​

In her compelling lecture performance Tiffany Chung revisited history and confronted current conflicts “through issues of migration, displacement, spatial and socio-political transformations – and the slippages between past colonial rhetoric with the present moment’s neo-liberal reforms in the traumatized continents of Asia, Africa as well as the Middle East.” The riveting accompanied imagery incorporated many intersections of Chung’s artistic practice and academic discourse, which is “situated between aesthetics and archives, poetry and statistics, lived experiences and top-down policies, national narratives and micro histories, political imagination and participation.”
