Transcorporeality in Toxic Times
Join on 1 November for Transcorporeality in Toxic Times, a lecture performance led by artist Aram Lee and theorist Lotte Arndt. The session explores the relationality and porosity of human and non-human bodies and how these are affected by toxicity.
Conceived as an experimental dialogue between an artist and a theorist, Transcorporeality in Toxic Times unfolds across media, languages and contexts. The lecturers critically examine the idea of bodies as self-contained, autonomous entities. Instead, they exchange and activate artistic practices that take the porosity of human and non-human bodies as their starting point. The dialogue interweaves archival materials and their temporalities with questions of bio- and necropolitics, striving to trace the invisible metabolism of toxicity.
Drawing on feminist materialisms and decolonial ecologies, the session focuses on life altered by toxic substances, distorted institutions and racial mattering. Lee and Arndt interrogate these hazardous conditions together with participants, working from within this exposed state. Bodies are affected by toxicity: they absorb and transform it, suffer from it, yet also turn vulnerability into a site of resistance.
