Colonial Endurance. Detecting the Algorithm of Violence in Infrastructures

The exhibition project “Colonial Endurance. Detecting the Algorithm of Violence in Infrastructures” explores persistent mechanisms of exploitation, suppression and discrimination deeply rooted within infrastructural and architectural systems — both historical and present.

The exhibition is curated by TOK/Anna Bitkina and Maria Veits, and includes projects by Seline Baumgartner, Denise Bertschi, Tanja Engelberts, Camille Kaiser, Alexander Morozov, Mbene Mwambene, Yelena Popova, Flora Reznik, Dana Savić, SashaPasha, Makar Tereshin, Katerina Verba, and Willimann/Arai. Project contributors include Aysel Akhundova, Ofri Cnaani, Nikolay Erofeev, Alice Hertzog, Ola Hassanian, Owen Hatherley, Sasha Huber, Samia Henni, Georgy Mamedov, Uriel Orlow, Nikolay Smirnov, Lesia Topolnyk and Anton Valkovsky.

The exhibition is a part of the bigger project that started with a durational online laboratory, during which most of the exhibition projects have been elaborated with help of artists, experts and researchers. The laboratory and exhibition results will be presented in the form of an open digital archive at the end of 2023.
