Lecture Performance | Video| Text | English with English subtitles | 30 min

Location: Spore Initiative, Berlin

In this lecture performance I weave together archival fragments, diasporic memory, and Saidiya Hartman’s method of “critical fabulation” in an attempt to reconstruct the silenced voices of Kalmyk people displayed at so-called ethnological exhibitions in Europe.
