Join us for a Free Lunch with artist Fatma Bucak, who is part of AHC Research Hosting. Bucak will engage in conversation with curator Katarina Stenbeck and Lars Bang Larsen, Head of Art & Research at AHC.
During lunch, they will explore Bucak’s selected works and her new research on non-state archival practices and the interconnected violence of militarism and environmental degradation. Focusing specifically on harnessing the power of sound and performativity as narrative strengths to resist erasure, the speakers will examine the politics of erasure in relation to ecocide and the radical potential of plural histories through the artist's research.
