Moving beyond humanitarian frames of scholar rescue, this workshop brings together scholars who have been forced to leave their countries of origin as a result of their resistance to the narrowing of space for thought with scholars currently concerned about the fate of academic freedom in their home countries. The participants of the workshop will explore the playbooks through which scholars have been shut out of sanctioned systems of knowledge production in the Global South and the post-Socialist East, along with approaches they developed to fight this attack on thinking and to rebuild spaces for it in exile.

Organized by Kerry Bystrom and Aysuda Kölemen for Bard College Berlin & OSUN Threatened Scholars Integration Initiative in cooperation with ICI Berlin

Registration will open on 1 Oct 2024

This lecture explores the operations of scale within cinematic and photographic mediations of the South African War (1899–1902), a peripheral colonial conflict between the British Empire and the Boer republics in South Africa. Examining actuality films from the war alongside officers’ accounts, photographs, maps, and neglected archival collections, it proposes a way to think about scale within what Malcomess calls an emerging colonial order of information.

Part of the ICI lecture series Scale

Today, many people are experiencing the uneven impacts of climate change, pandemics, wars, market crashes, biodiversity loss, and supply chain disruptions on a global scale. That a shared planetary future is, at best, uncertain is widely accepted. Governments, corporations, consultancies, and design firms are trying to tackle this uncertainty by envisioning various future scenarios and ways to get there.
