ABOUT THE SEMINAR

LUCA’s cluster ‘Art, Space & Sound’ is delighted to announce their doctoral seminar, entitled “Cultural Entanglements: Politics, Power, and Artistic Exchange”, tackling issues regarding artistic exchange. 

LUCA School of Arts and de Koer invite researchers and curious minds to explore questions regarding cultural appropriation, political instrumentalisation, exoticising and heritagisation of historically or/and culturally remote artistic practices, including traditional arts. The event will critically examine how such practices intersect with politics, power, and decolonial methodologies in contemporary art.

20:30 – ‘s Lands Welvaren

In ‘s Lands Welvaren, field recordings from Flemish folkloric festivals engage in dialogue with organic, free-form folk music. This interplay sparks a quest for a fictional past, often culminating in a peculiar kind of sonic neo-naturalism.

The ensemble consists of Glen Steenkiste (aka Hellvete), Steve Marreyt (Edgar Wappenhalter), and Simon van Honacker—two musicians and a sound artist/installer who dedicate their work to exploring traditional music from all corners of the world, with deep roots in pastoral Flanders. Independently and together in ‘s Lands Welvaren, they each explore the experimental qualities of folk, blues, Indian/Pakistani drones, and everything in between. Rather than striving to reproduce the past, they seek sound in the present—in archives and in their instruments. They capture a moment and guide the audience toward acoustic stillness, a dream, a trance.
