BE.BOP 2016 - Panel: Marronage and Border Thinking
.
Event information
| Linienstraße 227 10178 Berlin |
.
Marronage, the lifestyle, ethics and socio-political organization of runaway communities outside the plantation, has been an intrinsic component of the radical imagination of countless liberation struggles in Abya Yala, the designation used by Panamanian Kuna people to refer to the continent before the arrival of European colonialism. In Ecuador the teachings of the ancestors that have been labeled as “primitive” and even “diabolical” by state and private educational systems are now part of a decolonized curriculum entirely conceived and implemented by maroon descendants. In Brazil the stories of kilombos is intrinsically ingrained in the memory of the country, although not counted in national histories. The Haitian Revolution started and was won by Maroon leaders. Yet these personal testimonies, stories and similar forms of aesthetic expressions dwell the borders.
With: Walter Mignolo + Robbie Shilliam + Jeannette Ehlers + Augustus Casely Hayford
Moderated by Quinsy Gario
