*First Times Do Not Exist ***
*Translating and citing as relational practices of **(**re**)**use*
*Friday October 27, 2023*

If we consider authorship to be part of a collective cultural
effort, how can we invent a politics of sharing and re-use that is
attentative to power differences, and does not buy into a universalist
approach to openness? How can we develop practices of reuse that take
into account that a universalist “open” means different things in
different contexts?
In conversation with translator Jennifer Hayashida, curator Nkule Mabaso
and theoretician Cathryn Klasto, Eva Weinmayr and Femke Snelting attempt
to rethink translation and citation as dispersed economies of re-use.
Feeding, digesting, excreting, negotiating and transforming – citation
and translation are knowledge ecologies where authorship is distributed,
because a multiplicity of agents are at work to create a nutrient-rich
milieu. With the help of two practice examples, we want to ask: what
would be the conditions for a relational practice of re-use

/Ecologies of Dissemination/ is an artistic research project by
Eva Weinmayr and Femke Snelting, that aims to develop a politics of
re-use that acknowledges the tensions and overlaps between feminist
methodologies, decolonial knowledge practices and principles of open
access. It is a collaboration between HDK-Valand, Academy of Art and
Design, Göteborg, the Centre for Postdigital Cultures
<https://postdigitalcultures.org/>, Coventry University (UK) and
Constant <https://constantvzw.org/site/>, a non-profit, artist-run
association active in the fields of art, feminism, media and technology
in Brussels (BE). It is funded by the Swedish Research Council (2023-24).
The event will be recorded.
*Jennifer Hayashida* practices as a writer, translator, educator and
artist. She is interested in ways that language moves across contexts.
*Cathryn Klasto* works as a transdisciplinary theoretician within the
field of critical spatial practice. Together with Marie-Louise Richards
they edited the recent issue of Parse Journal
<https://parsejournal.com/journal/#citations> on /Citation. /She is
interested to spacialise citational practices. *Nkule Mabaso***practices
as a curator. She has co-curated the South-African Pavillion at the
Venice Bienale (2019) and co-edited with Jyoti Mistry the issue
“Decolonial Propositions” (oncurating.org). Currently she works with
curator Moses Serubiri on practices of citation from a South-African
vantage point.
The event is developed in collaboration with PARSE Journal
<https://parsejournal.com/research-themes/#ecologiesofdissemination> (Platform
for Artistic Research, Sweden).
