Notes on fugitivity
Notes on fugitivity is a symposium in which performances, lectures, panel discussions, and music explore the concept of fugitivity. Following the exhibition The Act of Breathing at HORST festival (Vilvorde, 2022), curators Sorana Munsya and Evelyn Simons, together with artists, most of whom are of Congolese origin, launched an investigation into the links between the struggle to breathe and fugitivity. This concept traces connections between the escape routes created by communities subjected to slavery in the Americas and the Caribbean and the contemporary forms of fugitivity.
