[im] Situated Knowledges—Art and Curating on the Move

[Allan Siegel]

A parallel conference and workshop event of Shared Campus at Tai Kwun 
Contemporary, Hong Kong (on-site) and Migros Museum für Gegenwartskunst, 
Zurich (online).

The term “situated knowledges” coined by Donna Haraway is a central 
topic in her concept of feminist objectivity. In her much-cited essay 
“Situated Knowledges: The Science Question in Feminism and the Privilege 
of Partial Perspective” (1988), Haraway assumes that all scientific 
knowledge is fundamentally conditional. For this reason, the concept of 
Situated Knowledge incorporates the social location and contextual 
advantages of the researcher into the research process. Against an 
assumption of an apparently neutral and unmediated knowledge of the 
(male, white) Western idea of science and its representation through 
overview visualization techniques, Haraway develops her concept of 
embodied knowledges by drawing on a description of the eye and “vision” 
(in the broad real and metaphorical sense). There is no such thing as 
unconditional observation, she argues, because every “acquisition of 
knowledge” takes place in a dynamic “apparatus of bodily production.”

With this in mind the conference invites artists, curators, educators, 
and scholars from the Shared Campus partners and beyond to engage in 
this programme of public talks and discussions as well as participatory 
Zoom workshops.

Led by Professor Dr. Dorothee Richter (ZHdK), Dr. Cedric Maridet (HKBU).
Organisation: Ronald Kolb (ZHdK).
