*/Wayward Visuality: The Question of Violence and Liberation/*

*/Organised by: Amsterdam School for Cultural Analysis/*

/In this three-day workshop, we aim to bring together activists, 
artists, and scholars to interrogate how the wayward responds to 
violence, and how visual culture as wayward refuses systems of 
oppression. The concept of the wayward, understood as that which 
threatens these systems as a commitment to an emancipated futurity in 
the present, takes a central position in this workshop in an effort to 
open possibilities of thinking beyond binary categorization/s towards a 
more nuanced response to the individual and the communal. Even though 
the wayward, in its rebellion, is often labeled ‘violent’ in its 
manifestation/s, we refuse this label and learn from these radical 
liberatory practices.We will explorethe processes through which bodies 
are dehumanized, ecology is disrupted, states become more militarised, 
and genocides are live-streamed;collectively understanding our role in 
bearing witness to our present through our past/s../
