No love Owned. Disalienating Romanticism
A lecture by Kerstin Stakemeier.
In the lecture, we will look at the role of art in relation to anti-colonial (as opposed to romantic) love. Kerstin’s lecture is based on a new book she is writing on this subject.
Kerstin Stakemeier is a professor of art theory at the Academy of Fine Arts Nuremberg. She is interested in art’s modern ends. In her teaching, research, writing and exhibition making she works with others in search of liveable forms and the artistic struggle for them.
