Regimes of Passage
(in English/in englischer Sprache)
Contemporary understandings of the Red Sea region are fixed to territorial affinities that are entangled in colonial logics. Migration shaped notions of culture in a region that has, for centuries, mediated expansive commercial spheres and circuits. Today, the migration of the Red Sea region conjures a very different imagination. Drawing on recent discoveries linking Egypt to Eritrea, Black Athena Collective (Heba Y. Amin and Dawit L. Petros) will investigate contemporary geographies through the histories of movement using an alternative conceptual framework. Archaeological and forensic approaches to mobility with an array of visual forms will converge into an expanded performance of history.
Black Athena Collective is a research and artistic laboratory for experimentation that engages political discourse and practices of spatial construction connected to the Red Sea region from Eritrea to Egypt. It looks specifically at the architectures of migrancy and the various frameworks of space and territorial demarcations in relation to errant bodies. The collective draws from challenges posed by Martin Bernal’s thesis which questions methodological assumptions embedded within Western historiography. Through multi-disciplinary perspectives including geography, sociology and history Black Athena Collective raises the question of migration as a crucial principle for imaging new conventions of territory. Central to their investigations are the reconstitution of political spaces and the various architectures and forms of reterritorialization. Black Athena Collective was founded in 2015 by artists Heba Y. Amin (EGY) and Dawit L. Petros (ER/CA).
