WE DEY x SPACE proudly presents

“Rememory: Ritual Blackness and Beyond” by Khaleb Brooks
14th of June – 30th of June 2018

We are excited to welcome Khaleb Brooks for a two weeks art residency & solo exhibition at WE DEY x SPACE.

Khaleb Brooks is a multi- media artist whose work is founded on research of ancestral knowledge and oral histories. Through painting, sculpture and photography Khaleb explores the role of memory in disrupting ideologies that maintain time as linear and fixed. By reviving ancestral cosmologies, creating assemblages of fragmented identities and engaging with generational trauma he seeks to re- imagine the notions of progress embedded in colonial and capitalist histories. The solo exhibition “Rememory: Ritual Blackness and Beyond” deals with thoughts and concepts of blackness as ritual and spaces of non- being as well as attemps to transcend these spaces.

Screening of short documentary by Intersex activist Pidgeon Pagonis, called The Son I Never Had. Afterwards Pidgeon will Skype in and we’ll have a discussion about their experiences, activism, and how art/ media affects their life and struggle for change. This is for everyone. When we discuss LGBTQ lives, we still forget the I for Intersex.

Dear all!

we kindly invite Black artists and Artists of Color to apply for a fellowship at WE DEY x SPACE! The fellowship is offered by kültüř gemma! and will start on 1st July 2018, the grant covers 1300€ a month (income tax free) over a period of 6 months. During the fellowship you will get insight in the organisation of WE DEY and support ongoing exhibitions and events. At the end of the fellowship you will present your research/project idea at WE DEY x SPACE.

We invite artists, activists, art theorists, historians – who define themselves as Black people or People of Color – to propose a project that focuses on the artistic and activist herstories through “Tracing Queer/Trans*/Inter/Black People/People of Color resistance in Vienna”.

WE DEY has collected a lot of archive material over the past years – from audio & video
material, to newspapers, books, art works etc. We invite the fellow to re-organise and
expand our archive which is centered around art and knowledge production, activism and community work that made it possible for WE DEY to exist today. We understand archiving as a community building tool and we would like the fellow to invite the wider community to share their stories and document them, host round tables, kitchen table talks or film nights and create new materials.

Project dates and requirements
The 6-months fellowship will start beginning of July 2018 and the presentation of the project should be in December 2018 at WE DEY x SPACE. The fellow has to be based in Vienna.

What we have to offer
