Aouefa Amoussouvi - “207 Years Ago I Would Have Been Standing In The Amphitheater” And Other Attempts To Decolonize “Digital” Technologies

This lecture is a multi-sensory meditation bridging intersectional feminism, decoloniality, crafts, and digital technologies. Central questions are: Who writes History? How biased is scientific research? And which parts of the history of science have been erased to polish the image of some scientists or render others invisible? Traveling in time and space, Aouefa will touch upon digital colonialism, the story of Sara Baartman, personal narratives, and the chemistry, ritualism, and planetary history of cacao. Aouefa will further present some of her recent collaborative projects, which attempt to decolonize "digital" technologies and to explore the blurry boundaries between art and craft, rituals and technologies, body and mind, human and non-human, History and microhistory, institutional and self-organised.
