Achievements in the era of modern times are the basis of global institutions of society and culture. But invisible waves of suppression and tension which have a great influence on that basis, still function. There is still a division of Wilderness and Civilization in society. Criteria of success, beauty standards, ideas of cultural norm exist in our life as something casual.
What can art oppose these “rules of the game” that were imposed by history? Is it even possible? How can artists find the “freedom territories” in colonial heritage? How was the artistic normativity formed and do we need to resist it? Ivan Novikov will help to find answers to these questions, based on consideration of critical research of the idea of colonialism in theory and practice.
