𓇣 Join us in the garden 𓇣  SAVVY Contemporary opens its 15-months artistic program TRANSITIONS, directed by Renan Laru-an, with a two-day gathering of artists, thinkers, cultural workers, critical friends, and allied communities reflecting on decolonization as a mode of artistic transition – under the title GARDENS IN TRANSITION.

The program takes colonial heritage and decolonization as facts and practices of transition. Relying on experimentation, the programme TRANSITIONS will show that decoloniality, as the anthropologist Rosalind Morris describes it, immerses us in lifeworlds and artworlds known to be “an incomplete dialectic.” Thereby, we will put an emphasis on deepening the study of decolonization in methodologies and assemblages: the historical and contemporary links in Afro-Asia colonial intricacies and decolonial futures; the theater of developmentalism in the Pacific; and the underrepresented roles of settlement—say Germany’s deep migration history in its neighbouring regions. These co-responding geographies and their geopoetics complicate colonisation and decolonization that may have stagnated in specific discursive milieux.

New transitions must be invented.
