As part of the second edition of the Archipel#Chaos-Monde Biennale, CWB|Paris presents its new autumn exhibition.
In late 2024, the Centre, aka the vessel, launched its Archipel#Chaos-Monde Biennale with a Focus dedicated to overseas and Pan-African territories. Drawing on Dipesh Chakrabarty’s expression, these Gatherings sought to “provincialize” the European gaze and bring together voices that disrupt established systems of thought and set epistemic disobedience ablaze. For this second edition, the Mediterranean will be what creates connection and a shared language—regarded as a potentially unifying element, not by reducing differences to similarities, but by championing an ethics of multiplicity, diversity, and irreducibility. In the shadow of certainties2, amid liquid zones and zones of flow, the Mediterranean offers an opportunity for a metaphorical narrative that recasts otherness through the lens of crossings, movement, and migration. Another “island” in Archipel#Chaos-Monde will be an Anarkhè-Exposition6 entitled “Asile-Exodus & Fuga.” It will bring together works exploring the issues surrounding human and non-human exile, inviolability, exoduses, refuges, shelter, and transformation—works that engage with the highly polysemous notion of asylum. Works that dismantle state-nationalist and imperialist visions and positions.
