<div>A discursive forerunner to the exhibitions of the 8th Triennale
of Photography Hamburg 2022,</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>the symposium LUCID KNOWLEDGE will be accessible for all via a
livestream.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Artists, critics, curators, poets, and scholars engage with three
key themes:</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Fields of Perception, Narrative Currents, and Image as
Currency.<br>
</div>
<div><b>Thursday, September 30, 2021: Fields of Perception</b><br>
</div>
<div>Since the early 20th century, thinkers have attributed prosthetic
qualities to the medium of photography for how it shapes perception
and structures experience. Traversing a range of practices and
insights, Fields of Perception engages questions of photographic
impetus, the social uses of photography, and the ethics of
spectatorship. Featuring an introduction by<b> Koyo Kouoh</b>, keynote
lecture by<b> Ariella Aïsha Azoulay</b> with respondent<b> Natalia
Brizuela</b>, and a conversation between<b> Bonaventure Soh Bejeng
Ndikung</b> and<b> Akinbode Akinbiyi.</b><br>
</div>
<div><b>Friday, October 1, 2021: Narrative Currents</b><br>
</div>
<div>While images both support and carry interpretative leaps, they
also provide glimmering propositions of their own that act as guiding
forces into archives and other knowledge repositories. Day two's
proceedings are dedicated to the discursive, literary, and critical
imaginaries through which photography flows.<b> Robin Coste Lewis</b>
gives the second keynote lecture, followed by a conversation
between<b> Maaza Mengiste</b> and<b> Biljana Ciric</b> with
respondent<b> Tala Hadid</b>. The Errant Photo Album will be
interspersed throughout the day, closing with a performance lecture
by<b> Joana Hadjithomas</b> and<b> Khalil Joreige</b> (<i>Aida Save
Me</i>).<br>
</div>
<div><b>Saturday, October 2, 2021: Image as Currency</b><br>
</div>
<div><i>Currency</i> most immediately evokes the instrumentation of
value through trade flows, canon-making, and systemization. Critically
repurposed in this setting, the term explores the ongoing and
unfinished exchanges that take place around acts of noticing and
listening to images. Featuring conversations with<b> Tina Campt</b>
and<b> Saidiya Hartman</b>,<b> Elias Sanbar</b> and<b> Léopold
Lambert</b>,<b> Françoise Vergès</b> and<b> Frieda Ekotto,</b>
with respondents<b> Antawan I. Byrd, Ariel Goldberg</b>, and<b> Rasha
Salti</b>. Contributors to the Errant Photo Album reflect on visual
production, circulation, and consumption through the lenses of art and
film, as well as literary and cultural theorizations guided by
feminist, queer, trans, ecological, decolonial, and Indigenous
epistemologies.<br>
</div>
<div>"Lucid Knowledge" closes with a parallel event, a joint site
visit and artist's talk with<b> Kapwani Kiwanga</b> and<b> Carolin
Köchling</b> around Kiwanga's public project BEDFORM, located on
Dar-es-Salaam-Platz, HafenCity Hamburg. Hosted in cooperation with
Imagine the City: THE GATE, an art walk with an audio library that
invites visitors to experience Hamburg's vision of the "gateway to
the world" from new perspectives. For more information and to
