About Carine:
Carine Zaayman (RCMC, Wereldmuseum) is an artist, curator and scholar committed to a radical reconsideration of colonial archives and museum collections, specifically those holding strands of Khoekhoe pasts. She works to find ways to release the hold these archives have over our imaginations when we narrate the past, as well as how we might shape futures from it. In this lecture, titled 'Anarchives of the Relegated', she will recount how she came to formulate the anarchive as pertaining to the full sensorial experience of lived life that necessarily escapes documentary archive, and yet determines the ways in which the past remains alive in the present. She will explore what thinking and doing from the anarchive makes possible in relation to worlds and pasts that have been relegated by colonialism and the relegation of multivalent ways of knowing.
