Tickets available for both in person attendance at BAK, Utrecht and for online livestreaming. A ticket for the gathering allows free entry into the exhibition

Taking place on Sunday 26 September 2021 in the context of the project Fragments of Repair, convened by BAK, basis voor actuele kunst, Utrecht with artist Kader Attia and decolonial forum La Colonie, the seventh and final gathering of Fragments of Repair/Gatherings consists of a conversation between Kader Attia, BAK general and artistic director Maria Hlavajova, and BAK curator Wietske Maas, and marks the conclusion of the exhibition Fragments of Repair/Kader Attia with the opportunity to visit the exhibition in the presence of the artist.

The conversation reflects upon the multi-part project Fragments of Repair and especially upon its proposition of decolonial repair as a means to engage with the planetary urgencies of collective mental health in a world wounded by the Covid-19 pandemic. How do injury and pathways of repair—concepts which have driven Attia’s artistic inquiry over the last two decades—contribute to the ongoing struggles of decolonization both in and out of the viral and psychological pandemonium?

To Watch the War: The Moving Image Amidst the Invasion of Ukraine (2014–2023) involves a hybrid off- and online sequence of conversations and screenings around discursive and artistic interventions that reimagine the social implications of watching the war through ways that disrupt, subvert, resist the media’s incessant spectacularization of war.
