Vortragsreihe Freie Kunst : Suely Rolnik „Micropolitics towards the end of a world What does art have to do with this?”
The colonial-racialising-capitalistic regime strongly intervene in the micropolitical sphere in which is produced its existential consistency. Its specific type of violence in this sphere consists in the abuse of the vital forces of all elements composing the biosphere, whose essence is the creation-force of new ecologies, whenever it is needed for the perseveration of life. In human species, this means the abuse of creating drive, diverting it from its ethical destiny: the creation of an environmental, social and mental ecology that restores life’s equilibrium. In its contemporary version, based on financialised capital and the neo-liberal state, the colonial operation was extended throughout the planet and refined its power strategies, complexifying its micropolitical apparatus. From this results the limit situation we are living today everywhere, and also the difficulty in deciphering it. It becomes urgent to undo the kind of unconscious regime that maintains our desire under abuse, abandoning its formations in the social field and, with them, our characters in their scenes, through the performance of new characters, their bodies and their relational field – in sum, their ways of living. In this process, the boundaries between art, therapeutics and politics become indiscernible.
