Inaugural lecture by donna Kukama, professor of contemporary art / global south at KHM

Sunshine for those of us who live through the holes in your concrete

South-African-born interdisciplinary artist and professor donna Kukama will present her inaugural public lecture at KHM. The lecture will merge Kukama’s ongoing doctoral research with previous and current work, which addresses questions of knowledge production and memory work. In her presentation, Kukama will unsettle how, and whose histories are told while applying forms of producing knowledge that are not necessarily harvested within academia. Kukama’s lecture is a universe made up of dreams, rituals, and forms of alchemy that center the body as an ancestral archive, and memory and breath as tools for writing history.
