How do we productively map the historical and contemporary relationships that exist between North Africa, the Middle East and the Global South?
Over the next six months, from November 2014 to April 2015, Ibraaz will invite cultural practitioners to articulate their views on how we might productively locate North Africa and the Middle East within the context of the so-called Global South. Through engagement with these expanded cartographies, the primary aim of this platform is to explore how we can collectively formulate and develop new epistemological frameworks for producing cultural knowledge. Other questions will explore how we can produce transnational networks—within the oft?-conflicted channels of globalization—that operate against the exigencies of neoliberal, political, cultural and economic doctrines. What, we will ask, does mapping such networks enable in both the short- and long-term? Could the Global South represent a nascent form of neocolonial and categorical essentialism? Moreover, does the periphery still exist and can we effectively rethink Occidental/Oriental paradigms without reinstating other binary rationales?
