The Catalyst Speaker Series on International Women’s Day: Golboo Amani

Golboo Amani will discuss their project Unsettling Settlers: Intervention as a means to interrupt the colonial narrative of Settlers of Catan. Golboo Amani is a multi-disciplinary artist, educator and curator best known for their performance and social practice works. Amani produces sites for aesthetic intervention by utilizing ready-made and familiar social engagements as a point of entry in their practice. Amani’s work often examines their relationship to learning by addressing the conditions of knowledge production that render epistemic violence as invisible, insignificant and benign. As a result, Amani works often experiment with collective agency and egalitarian epistemology by producing sites where one gets to play with pedagogy.
