Technologies of Colonialism and Solidarity

With Svitlana Matviyenko and Mariia Shynkarenko

28 — 29 April, 2025
Conference
IWM Vienna
Digital Democracies Institute
Plotting Institute

This conference aims to critically position Russian colonialism not as an isolated phenomenon but as an integral part of the international project of colonial expansion, which encompasses both collaboration and competition between Western and non-Western empires. Encompassing the intersections of colonial warfare, resource extraction, surveillance, occupation, and other colonial technologies, our collaborative initiative aims at thinking with multiple histories and presents of decolonial resistance.

Consisting of three panels – technologies of occupation, technologies of persistence and technologies of implication –, the conference brings together researchers, artists and activists to analyse ways and methods of colonial violence and develop methods of translocal solidarity.

Colonial Technologies, Infrastructures, Solidarity

Where the Wind Scatters Seeds
With Schaho Balbas, Idil Xaashi Hassan, Julia Jesionek,
Lan Mi Lê, Polina Resnianska, Sarah Savalanpour,
Shadi Tabibzadeh, Safiya Yon

7 — 9 February, 2025
Film Festival
Filmhaus Köln
Akademie der Künste der Welt

Weaving together the intersection of memory, dislocation, and radical solidarity, the program uses film to confront, as well as imagine beyond colonial violence and the ways it warps our sense of self, community, time and space. Complimenting the film program with alternative media forms such as food, music, an interactive drawing corner & a healing conversation circle, the cinema is transformed into a space for nurturing ancestral forms of belonging. It reflects on the essence of home—its presence, what it carries, and the void left in its absence. The showcased works examine the act of remembering, transforming archives into dynamic spaces for resistance, reclamation, and processes of un-learning.

Symposium
Reference Point. London

On 24 February 2022, Russia launched a new phase of its colonial war against Ukraine - a war which has been ongoing since 2014, with 15,000 lives lost. Since 24 February, tens of thousands more have died, and millions have been driven from their homes. On 24 February 2022, Russian colonial violence suddenly ceased to be local knowledge. The world noticed. While this knowledge came as a surprise to many, Russian colonial violence has long been intimately known to Ukrainian decolonial scholars, filmmakers, writers, and artists. They have felt this violence on their own bodies and in their lives, and they have warned about it in their work. This symposium is devoted to dissecting Russia's current war against Ukraine as a colonial enterprise; and to promoting understanding of Russian colonial violence as an essential part of planetary post-colonial and decolonial theory and practice
