On Riots and Resistance
The riot is an extra-ordinary setting that has played a pivotal role in the permanent confrontation between dissent and power over centuries. The deeper crises of capitalism, racial violence, and communal tensions have convulsed us into "an age of riots" [1]. As master fictions of the sovereign nation-state implode and hegemonic silencing of the dispossessed only serves to reveal the cracks in governability, the exhibition "Riots: Slow Cancellation of the Future" brings together artistic works and research positions from across the world in an endeavour to "sense" and chronicle recent riots and uprisings 鈥� evoking a phenomenology of the multitude.
