CARING MATTERS CONFERENCE | Endangerment

PANEL | Wednesday 23 Sept During the Caring Matters conference, as as part of the international collaborative research project TAKING CARE - Ethnographic and World Cultures Museums as Spaces of Care, the Research Center for Material Culture hosted a series of panels, workshop and conversations. This panel engages the notion of endangerment, thinking through what it means to live multi-generationally through and with precarity. The etymology of danger refers back to the jurisdiction and power of a lord or master, reminding us that the present-day notion of danger has everything to do with living in a constantly insecure relationship to a world that has been forcefully and violently fashioned by colonialism. To be 'endangered' means to be under constant threat. This panel then asks us think through the violence that is historically linked to often romanticized notions of extinction. We seek to honor what it means to live in the aftermaths of colonialism, of the master that sets the traps that make danger and endangerment possible? What does it mean to live with a constant sense of precariousness that life and lives might become endangered or extinct. How do we rethink endangerments as intimately linked to colonialism's violences? TAKING CARE is co-funded by the Creative Europe Programme of the European Union. //SPEAKERS Niall Martin, Jeff Diamanti www.materialculture.nl/en/events/caring-matters-endangerment
