Kapwani Kiwanga, The Sun Ra Repatriation Project

Kapwani Kiwanga’s The Sun Ra Repatriation Project was initiated in 2008 and fashions a system of interplanetary communication to ensure Sun Ra’s return home. This video documents the project’s activities. Kiwang travels to the United States and France to meet experst and scientist to help in the endeavor. France’s national police creates a composite portrait from video testimonies of those who knew Sun Ra. The composite sketch is then sent into deep space on May 16, 2009. A radio telescope in California observes Saturn for any possible extraterrestrial radio transmissions from Sun Ra. Meeting with experts at the Observatoire de Paris and the NASA-associated: Jet Propulsion Lab articulate the astronomical aspects of the project.

Deep in the human unconscious is a pervasive need for a logical universe that makes sense. But the real universe is always one step beyond logic.

Museum of Nonhumanity

The museum of Nonhumanity presents the history of distinction between humans and other animals, and the way this imaginary boundary has been used to oppress human and nonhuman beings. Elements of dehumanization are seen today in the hate speech that has entered contemporary political discussions. The notion of human exceptionalism is deeply rooted in the traditional values of western culture. The Aristotelian heritage, Christianity, scientific rationalism and the Enlightenment have all made their contribution to the idea of human rights and of inherent value of human life. The same philosophical traditions have simultaneously promoted anthropocentrism and thus worsened the ever-deepening divide separating humans from nature and other animals. Museum of Nonhumanity, a project by writer Laura Gustafsson and artist Terike Haapoja, consigns dehumanization to history where it belongs, and seeks a more inclusive form of coexistence for the future.

Rana Hamadeh’s The Sleepwalkers

Rana Hamadeh’s The Sleepwalkers re-dramatizes the story of the infamous Egyptian sister serial killers Raya and Sakina who in 1921 became the first women to be executed by a legal court in the modern history of Egypt. The Sleepwalkers is the latest chapter of Alien Encounters, Hamadeh’s ongoing project, which aims at further complicating the notion of ‘alienness’ understood broadly as the condition of estrangement to the law. Throughout the project, the ‘alien’ becomes a recurrent figure and a discursive tool that allows for queer modalities of understanding state-sponsored forms of violence and their enabling legal apparatuses.

In the very earliest time, when people and animals lived on the earth,
a person could become an animal if
he wanted to
and an animal could become a human being.
Sometimes they were people
and sometimes animals
and there was no difference.
All spoke the same language.
That was the time when words
were like magic.
The human mind had mysterious powers.
...
Nobody could explain this:
That's the way it was.
