The decolonial is an option that invites to delink from the promises of modernity and the discontents of coloniality, the darker and constitutive side of modernity. Our specific goals focus on Black and African Diasporas performance and moving image artistic practices in Europe and beyond and through them to illuminate what modernity/coloniality means and what the decolonial option offers. Both the history of the African continent as well as the history of enslaved Africans in Abya Yala, constitute a fundamental and tragically neglected history in of Western Civilization, comparable with the Holocaust in the intra-mural history of Europe. The option for the decolonial that impregnates BE.BOP therefore does not claim recognition for alternative, other or multiple modernities. Rather, BE.BOP seeks to find ways to overcome coloniality enabled by the violence of modernity in the name of 'progress', 'freedom' and 'peace'. Decolonial and Maroon thinking and doing, through visual and moving images, through written and spoken words, through sounds and rhythms are already walking the roads of delinking from the canons of modern, postmodern and altermodern philosophical aesthetics drinking in the fountains of European Renaissance and their Enlightenment 'secular' hegemonic artistic histories.
With: Pedro Pablo Gómez + Rolando Vázquez + Simmi Dullay + Rod Sachs
Moderated by Ovidiu Tichindeleanu
