Quan l'afecte esdevé cura is the 2021 programme of ACCA, Associació Catalana de la Crítica d'Art, where different artists, critics, curators and other collaborators provide a programme of seminars, lectures and workshops. The theme of the events are different projects that focus on thinking and critiquing in the field of the politics of healing.
The events in this edition of ACCA aim to analyse the cultural practices and policies that contribute to the maintenance and preservation of the artistic structure, and understand healing as those types of actions that aim to preserve the various forms of life in a given context.
The aim of the lecture is to look at the politics of healing from the perspective of critical theory and commissarial practice. To this end, Beatrice von Bismarck will speak with her exploration of the concept of hospitality. In addition, Bonaventure Ndikung will talk about his recent publication The Delusions of Care (Archive Books, 2021), which is the culmination of three long essays exploring the concept of care in our present and in history. The event will be held in English.
Beatrice von Bismarck is an art historian, curator and professor of art history and visual studies at the Hochschule für Grafik und Buchkunst in Leipzig.
Bonaventure Ndikung is a curator and author, founder and director of SAVVY Contemporary (Berlin) and future director of the Haus der Kulturen der Welt in Berlin.
