The programme of the last two editions can be found at: https://tanztage-berlin.sophiensaele.com.
Alternative histography as an anti-imperialist museum tour
For centuries, the West has robbed communities around the world of their cultural and material property, removing it from its contexts and transforming it into collectable, exchangeable objects. untoured questions the imperialist practices of Western museums and rewrites their narratives with alternative stories. An unconventional audio tour that questions the power to define meaning with selected artefacts from the Pergamonmuseum and the Deutsches Historisches Museum Berlin and thereby offers alternative histories.
The *foundationClass of the weißensee kunsthochschule berlin sees art academies as powerful places of knowledge production, which in part unconsciously (re)produce inclusions and exclusions by still setting white, heterosexual people with young and powerful bodies from privileged backgrounds as the norm. As an artist*collective, *foundationClass deals with questions of representation politics and forms of self-empowering artistic practice.
