Inspired by Hayv Kahraman’s paintings, anthropologist Miriam Ticktin asks: ‘Can rethinking the borders of the body help us to rethink borders more broadly?’

About

In this talk, anthropologist Miriam Ticktin proposes that recognising that we live in a connected world is the only way to survive today, stating that, ‘as Covid19 has made very clear, we are in a life-and-death embrace with each other that no one can wriggle out of’. She uses this vision of interconnection to help us rethink borders and the treatment of migrants and refugees in the Global North, who are still depicted as “invasive” and likened to pathogens like Covid19. Drawing on Kahraman’s paintings, Ticktin asks ‘How might we rethink the world in terms of entanglements?’. This talk aims to think about interconnections and the way we must learn to live with otherness.
