La început de iunie, a avut loc vernisajul expoziției AfterLand, expoziție găzduită de Rezidența9, în cadrul căreia au fost puse împreună lucrări ale unui grup internațional de artiști preocupați de intersecțiile dintre artă, știință și natură. Pentru a înțelege noutatea artistică adusă de AfterLand, am vorbit cu Floriama Cândea și Diane Pricop, de la 'Asociația Qolony - Colonia pentru artă și știință'. O revoluție recentă în gândire apropie două moduri de cunoaștere și de raportare la lume, care au fost considerate separate, dacă nu chiar opuse, de prea multă vreme: arta și știința. Dacă cea din urmă ne dă o cale solidă de înțelegere a lumii din jurul nostru, aportul artei este acela de a ne învăța cum să ne pese, de a imagina un viitor mai bun, mai durabil, mai incluziv, un viitor pe care vrem să îl construim. Proiectul de cercetare artistică AfterLand si-a propus să sublinieze importanța conlucrării acestor două sfere, concentrându-se pe sustenabilitatea ecologică și socială a Deltei Dunării, unul dintre spațiile europene cele mai profund definite de ideea de confluență. Prin intermediul unei cercetări, a unei expoziții artistice și a unui simpozion, proiectul a propus un dialog intre disciplinele artistice, științifice și umaniste, pornind de la premisa că abordările transdisciplinare care includ arta pot atinge probleme complexe într-o manieră integrativă, necesară și mult mai dificil de realizat într-o paradigmă axată pe specializare și excludere categorică. Având o dimensiune internațională, proiectul a pornit de la Delta Dunării pentru a identifica modurile în care arta și știința pot colabora pentru a crește sustenabilitatea socială și ecologică a zonelor de tip deltă din întreaga lume. Miza nu este doar conservarea și protejarea acestor spații, ci și raportarea la ele ca la niște pepiniere pentru consolidarea unei gândiri holistice, în care oamenii de știință și artiștii își pot canaliza împreună abilitățile. În acest spirit, AfterLand a strâns împreună lucrări ale unor artiști internaționali care sunt deja specializați în creația interdisciplinară asociată ecologiei apei, într-o expoziție găzduită la Rezidența9 din București. Venind din Spania, Clara Boj și Diego Diaz își folosesc practica artistică pentru a vorbi despre modul în care noile tehnologii umplu spațiile publice urbane și aduc în proiectul AfterLand experiența lor ca participanți în Mar Menor, într-o cercetare interdisciplinară aplecată asupra lagunei spaniole, un spațiu cu o biodiversitate unică și aflat într-o stare de deteriorare semnificativă, având astfel multe în comun cu Delta Dunării. Mark IJzerman este un artist olandez, câștigător al bursei Starts4water în anul 2022, a cărui practică este concentrată pe evoluția planetei în această eră profund marcată de activitatea umană. Sébastien Robert (Franța/Olanda) călătorește în jurul lumii înregistrând sunete amenințate cu dispariția, fie din pricina globalizării, a schimbărilor climatice, sau a oricărui alt impact uman. Floriama Cândea, din România, propune lucrări care explorează relațiile dintre specii, dintre natural și artificial - atât dintre om și natură, cât și dintre om și tehnologii, speculând asupra unui viitor sustenabil. Robertina Sebjanic a venit din Slovenia, fiind unul dintre cei mai importanți actori europeni în proiecte culturale de ecologie a apei. Nu în ultimul rând, proiectele artistice ale Ioanei Vreme Moser (România/Germania) sunt la confluența dintre comentariul socio-economic, electronică și știință, incluzând cercetări asupra unor computere fluidice. Proiectul a cuprins o mică excursie de cercetare în Delta Dunării, între 5 și 8 iunie, în cadrul căreia echipa proiectului a vizitat laboratoarele Institutului Național de Cercetare-Dezvoltare din Delta Dunării, la Tulcea, pentru a căpăta o viziune de ansamblu asupra cercetării la nivel local și pentru a pune bazele unor eventuale colaborări și schimburi de informații în viitor. În încheierea proiectului, o serie de specialiști la nivel european în dezvoltarea structurală a proiectelor de artă, știință și tehnologie au avut un schimb de idei și de practici cu artiștii invitați, în cadrul unui simpozion, la Rezidența9. Masa rotundă a reunit reprezentanți ai Quo Artis, o organizație internațională cu sediul în Spania, dedicată promovării legăturilor dintre artă, științe, tehnologie și ecologie, Artshare - o organizație din Portugalia dedicată dezvoltării de procese, produse și servicii care îmbină practicile artistice și tehnologia și Obsolete Studio, o organizație din Franța dedicată transdisciplinarității, prin inițiative educaționale și proiecte de cercetare interdisciplinare. Proiectul AfterLand susține implicarea artiștilor în proiecte de cercetare, ca element esențial și mijloc puternic de abordare a unor subiecte sensibile, oferind o platformă pentru a stimula reflecția asupra comportamentului uman și a modului în care acesta poate avea un impact asupra societății și a mediului înconjurător. De asemenea, proiectul vine în completarea peisajului deja destul de bogat de cercetări totodată artistice și științifice din România, aplecându-se în premieră asupra ecologiei apei și a spațiului Deltei Dunării. Mai multe detalii despre proiect se găsesc pe site-ul https://qolony.eu/en/.

SubText Books and East Side Freedom Library are pleased to present a virtual event to celebrate the release of "Yellow Rain" by Mai Der Vang (Graywolf Press) on Friday, October 1st at 7:00 PM. Mai Der Vang will be in conversation with Kao Kalia Yang. About: In this staggering work of documentary, poetry, and collage, Mai Der Vang reopens a wrongdoing that deserves a new reckoning. As the United States abandoned them at the end of its war in Vietnam, many Hmong refugees recounted stories of a mysterious substance that fell from planes during their escape from Laos starting in the mid-1970s. This substance, known as “yellow rain,” caused severe illnesses and thousands of deaths. These reports prompted an investigation into allegations that a chemical biological weapon had been used against the Hmong in breach of international treaties. A Cold War scandal erupted, wrapped in partisan debate around chemical arms development versus control. And then, to the world's astonishment, American scientists argued that yellow rain was the feces of honeybees defecating en masse—still held as the widely accepted explanation. The truth of what happened to the Hmong, to those who experienced and suffered yellow rain, has been ignored and discredited. Integrating archival research and declassified documents, Yellow Rain calls out the erasure of a history, the silencing of a people who at the time lacked the capacity and resources to defend and represent themselves. In poems that sing and lament, that contend and question, Vang restores a vital narrative in danger of being lost, and brilliantly explores what it means to have access to the truth and how marginalized groups are often forbidden that access. Mai Der Vang is an editorial member of the Hmong American Writers' Circle. Her poetry has appeared in the New Republic, Poetry, and the Virginia Quarterly Review, and her essays have been published in the New York Times, San Francisco Chronicle, and the Washington Post. Her debut collection, Afterland, received the Walt Whitman Award from the Academy of American Poets. She lives in California. Kao Kalia Yang is a Hmong-American writer, teacher and public speaker. Born in the refugee camps of Thailand to a family that escaped the genocide of the Secret War in Laos, she came to America at the age six. Yang holds degrees from Carleton College and Columbia University. Her works of creative nonfiction include The Latehomecomer: A Hmong Family Memoir, The Song Poet, What God is Honored Here?: Writings on Miscarriage and Infant Loss By and For Indigenous Women and Women of Color, and Somewhere in the Unknown World. Yang has also written multiple children's books such as A Map Into the World, The Shared Room, and The Most Beautiful Thing, Yang Warriors, and the forthcoming From the Tops of the Trees. Her work has won numerous awards and recognition including multiple Minnesota Book Awards, a Charlotte Zolotow Honor, an ALA Notable Children's Book Award, Dayton's Literary Peace Prize, and a PEN USA Award in Nonfiction.

Join Sean Wilson in conversation with MR Carey and Hattie Klotz in conversation with Lauren Buekes. Everything that lives hates us: That's the reality M.R. Carey is exploring in The Rampart Trilogy. The award-winning author of the Lucifer comics and The Girl With All The Gifts returns with The Book of Koli. Beyond the walls of the small village of Mythen Rood lies an unrecognizable landscape. A place where overgrown forests are filled with choker trees and deadly seeds that will kill you where you stand. Koli has lived in Mythen Rood his entire life. He believes the first rule of survival is that you don't venture too far beyond the walls. He's wrong. Most of the men are dead. Three years after the pandemic known as The Manfall, governments still hold and life continues–but a world run by women isn't always a better place. Children of Men meets The Handmaid's Tale in Afterland, a blend of psychological suspense, American noir, and science fiction from South Africa's Lauren Beukes.
Lauren Beukes discusses the proximity of her recent novel Afterland to the current pandemic and how collective action and art are the only way through these difficult times.

In the last few years a new trend of designing video games intended to fulfill a serious purpose through impacting the players in real life contexts has emerged. These games claim to raise awareness about social and political issues such as inequity, injustice, poverty, racism, sexism, exploitation, and oppression. Their intent is to reach a specific purpose beyond pure entertainment. But what are the specific attributes of purposeful games and how can they be researched? Which game design challenges arise and how are they addressed? How do players make meaning of their game play experiences in general? And what is the future of purposeful games research? In this talk three perspectives of Mitgutsch’s recent research on purposeful games are outlined: To begin, insights from a recent study on meaningful experiences in players’ lives are examined and the research method of playographies is discussed. In the second part, a research-based game design project on subversive game design and recursive learning is presented and the background of the game Afterland is highlighted. Finally, the narrative of serious games and the design of purposeful games are discussed. On this basis, recent research results will be explored and future challenges for game design and purposeful games research will be outlined. Dr. Konstantin Mitgutsch is a post-doctoral researcher at the Singapore-MIT GAMBIT Game Lab and a Visiting Professor at the University of Vienna. In 2010 he was a Max Kade Fellow at the Education Arcade at the Program of Comparative Media Studies at MIT. He worked at the University of Vienna for several years and published books in the field of game studies and education. Since 2007 he organizes and chairs the annual Vienna Games Conference FROG and is on the expert council of the Pan European Game Information (PEGI).
