Exiled Lives on the Stage: Practices of Self-Fashioning, Archiving and Decolonization
Exiled Lives on the Stage: Practices of Self-Fashioning, Archiving and Decolonization
What strategies do artists in self-exile and/or at risk develop and acquire to enter the German cultural industry, including the theatre stages? Is self-fashioning an exilic artist identity emancipating or restricting? How do we archive the affective stories, works of art, and exiled lives of artists who have come to Germany? What strategies of archiving the lives of exiled artists exist today, inside and outside the institutions? How do the works of art impact institutions and the public debate, and how can they help others?
