Discussion | Glasgow School of Art venue TBA

Join political theorist, curator and writer Françoise Vergès to delve deeper into her latest book, A Programme of Absolute Disorder: Decolonizing the Museum, which dissects the colonial ideology that relies on, sustains and creates Western art traditions. Reflecting on the need for a radical overhaul, Vergès will share insights into the possibilities of a ‘post-museum’.
On the Necessity of Psychic Militancy
Lara Sheehi & Hannah Proctor
7 - 8.10pm
Discussion | Tramway
Ticketed via Wed Evening Pass
Psychoanalyst and author Lara Sheehi in conversation with Hannah Proctor. Lara explodes the naïve claim to neutrality of normative psychiatric care. Her concept of ‘psychic intrusions’ helps to identify the ways power seeks to mould the consciousness of the people it seeks to subjugate. Her idea of notion of ‘psychic militancy’ maps the resistance to such attempts.
Access: Live Captioning
Content Notes: Discussion of psychiatric care and its assimilation by colonial forces.
The Nakba in the Room
Ayreen Anastas & Rene Gabri
8.30 - 10pm
