Goldjian Charlo (anne goldenberg)
Goldjian is a queer, psychodivergent artist who immigrated from France in 2004 and nourishes roots and emotional ties on the island of Tio’tia:ke, colonially known as Montreal. As a curator, relational artist and feminist, transdisciplinary hacktivist, he likes to make visible, legible and malleable the processes of co-construction of wisdom and knowledge. Goldjian is particularly interested in the interdependencies between humans, ecologies and technologies. Her work creates intimate spaces dedicated to mutual learning and the slowing down of processes. Co-founder of Femhack and Hackingwithcare, Goldjian embraces media and land art, installation, dance and video. Her practice most often revolves around the facilitation of collaborative, collective and restorative practices. Goldjian cares for and practices connection to the self, to spaces of time, to other humans and to non-humans, questioning the conditions of connection, care and disconnection to activate this quality of presence.
À nos prothèses is a collective project that questions relations of intimacy, conviviality, dispossession and (in)accessibility to our ‘ordinary’ prostheses. Prostheses are physical, digital, urban or sensory extensions that allow us to complete, extend and adjust our being to ourselves and our being together. Prostheses can be material (hearing aids, canes, glasses, dental prostheses, etc.), digital or urban (access ramps). This project is concerned with ordinary prostheses and claims solidary approaches in the sense of Donna Haraway (Cyborg Manifesto), Crip solidarities (Mia Mingus, Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha), CRIP Art and feminist, queer, Crip and Cyborg interconnections (Alison Kafe, Mallory Kay Nelson, Ashley Shew, Bethany Stevens.).
