Seminar:《Alternatives to Land》 Amy Lien and Enzo Camacho
Post Date 2019.11.20
Event Date _ 11/21 ~12/12
Event Price _ Free
Alternatives to Land is an experimental seminar taught by the artists Amy Lien and Enzo Camacho, which will think about Kuandu Museum of Fine Arts as a piece of land.
The seminar will bring the museum into relation with regional and global land struggles. The artists will share stories from their ongoing engagement with the farmers’ struggle in the Philippines, which they will place in dialogue with indigenous activism in Taiwan. These social movements demand for land to be fairly distributed and co-operatively managed, or for traditional ties to land to be fully acknowledged and respected. In doing so, they call into question our fundamental assumptions about land under the ruling economic and political systems. Through this seminar, the artists will work with the participants to try to reimagine a relationship to land which resists the colonialist heritage of land-grabbing and profit-driven development, forging connective solidarities across diverse incitements to change. This attempt to collectively imagine alternatives to land is also an attempt to write an alternative terrain for art: if our relationship to land were fundamentally changed, how does art follow?
The seminar will be structured around four key terms, each arising out of state discourse at a different historical moment, and each expressing a different conception of land and its rightful ownership:
