Künstler*innenhaus Mousonturm

A performative essay about the many permutations of cultural adoption – when are mimicry and appropriation subversive strategies and when are the merely an extension of deeply ingrained racism and colonial practices? Cultural anthropologist, afropessimist and performer Julian Warner takes a closer look together with theatre director and performer Oliver Zahn at the potential of popularity and the construction of authenticity in and via dance.
