Issue 2.1 of static just dropped! And we just launched a new static homepage, where you can download entire issues or single articles for free!
static.ub.uni-muenchen.de
(Ironically, it's a special issue about disconnected objects, but static is now more connected than ever).

Is there a better way to #decolonise #cities than through artistic interventions? 🏙️🎨💃 Probably not.
We're excited to see how our Yolanda Gutiérrez, our newest fellow, uses her art to help decolonise #Munich. Welcome Yolanda!

The programme of our workshop 'Colonial violence beyond the borders of empires: dis/connections, transfers, and mobilities, ca. 1850–1954' is now online! And, if I may say, it looks exciting! Registration for virtual participation is still open: hsozkult.de/event/id/event-1…

Excited to share the website for my @MSCActions project hosted by @global_discnct. If you’re interested in themes of transparency and accountability, or curious about the relationship between military, democracy, and empire in Britain, check out: warwitness.co.uk

Is it signal? Is it noise? Is it a scholarly comic about a Sahrawi refugee? Is it a compendium of thought about #disconnectivity from #globaldisconnect?
Yes. It's all that. It's #static. 📡 Issue 1.2 just landed. Download it now (or hmu for a print copy):

#Colombo has long been a deeply connected city, linking #West and #East, #North and #South, #island and #mainland, #land and #sea, #rulers and #ruled.
Sujit Sivasundaram takes a closer look at the dis:connections it contains in our latest blog post: bit.ly/3Dx4iro

The first day of our #gdcconference2022 is in the books! We concluded yesterday evening with a fascinating artist lecture: Cathrine Boublatzky spoke with Iranian artist and activist Parastou Forouhar about positionality and intimacy as well as dis:connective elements in her art.

Dis:connections are not just lateral, across the surface of the globe; they can also be vertical, between the surface and the reservoirs beneath our feet. 🌏🛢️🌍
Our own @menger_tom explores both dimensions in the latest blog post from global dis:connect:

Have you ever wondered what some 20 scholars/artists are doing at 32°C while everybody else is enjoying their summer break? Let’s take a look at some impressions of our first day at #gdcsummerschool:

Today's all about "managing dis:connectivity during decolonization". The great Ayala Levin (UCLA) is taking a head start with a masterclass on architecture and urban planning in postcolonial African states. #gdcsummerschool
