The slow release of Silon took place at Index throughout an evening in late spring 2021, within Hanni Kamaly’s exhibition THE MIGHT THEY HAVE.
Silon volume one is a collection of readings by curators, artists and architects on decolonizing the white cube, exploring questions around education and land and a meditation that brings feminine awareness to the complex phenomena and philosophy of Frantz Fanon. Silon is a production of The Mirror Institution which seeks to mirror, reflect and expand ideas and programs of existing art institutions. The Mirror Institution is an initiative of curator Joanna Sandell, journalist Steuart Wright with architecture by Tor Lindstrand.
We recorded reflections and interviews with some of the contributors to Silon Issue 1. Conversations in space with Joanna Sandell, Tor Lindstrand, Rami Khoury, Mmabatho Thobejane, Amina Zoubir. Excerpts from the publication have been selected by and are read by Ella Saar and Martina Sara D’Alessio.
This podcast is the second in a series of three recorded during publication releases at Index. With focus on specific publications and editorial processes, now we release them in another format, and listen together.
