. . Timeliness: Fragments Between Past and Future On(going) Trauma #5 Join us on Saturday 14 December from 3:00pm to 7:30 pm @viertewelt for readings, screening, and discussions. For the fifth encounter of the discursive series On(going) Trauma at Vierte Welt Berlin guests and audience are invited to collectively address questions regarding trauma’s complex effects on temporality and how these are being explored, transformed or conveyed in artistic (and research) practices. Together, we will be focusing on the repetitive and sudden presence (– the timeliness –) of traumata between past experiences and possible future scenarios, on non-linear fragmentation of individual and collective memories, and on its transgenerational traces inscribed throughout personal histories. Trauma will be discussed as holes and portals for temporalities and voices, as un-healing wounds in poetry, texts, and language as such (Katharina Ludwig), as vocal echos of past violences shifting in time within the streets of Ukraine’s city Kharkiv (Mykola Ridnyi) and as a poetic excavation of identity, displacement and the collective scars of conflict, exploring how trauma reshapes language, with poetry bearing witness to the unspeakable effects of ongoing crises (Ghayath Almadhoun). On(going) Trauma – Artistic Narratives on Collective And Individual Wounds. A Discursive Series in 6 Parts offers a forum to talk about and learn from artistic and curatorial research practices in dealing with trauma from plural perspectives, as well as repositioning its concept. On(going) Trauma is initiated by Anna- Lena Werner and Elisa Müller/ @institut_fuer_wip in cooperation with Vierte Welt Berlin.
