    To activate the exhibition Performing Colonial Toxicity, the accompanying open access digital database, The Testimony Translation Project built in the If I Can’t Dance Studio will be introduced. Developed in collaboration with a global network of twenty “translator-participants”, the online repository begins the long process of digitalising and translating the over seven hundred pages of written and oral testimonies by French and Algerian victims of France’s nuclear detonation programme. From 15:30, curator Megan Hoetger will lead a special tour through the exhibition, focused on the testimony translation. A group of translator-participants will join the conversation and share their reflections on the translation process.

    About the Exhibition

    From 8 October 2023 to 14 January 2024, Framer Framed presents the exhibition Performing Colonial Toxicity by researcher and architectural historian Samia Henni, in collaboration with If I Can’t Dance, I Don’t Want To Be Part Of Your Revolution. The project sheds light on the redacted history of French nuclear colonialism in the Algerian Sahara and draws attention to the urgency of reckoning with this history and its lived environmental and sociopolitical impacts.
