From ‘urban’ to ‘wild,’ from ‘nomadic’ to ‘sedentary’ – a wide range of liminal states are currently unfolding in metropolitan spaces. While colonial capitalist modernity negates such in-betweenness, it also thrives on negating (liminal) life. Exposing and deconstructing the resulting contradictions is a first step toward emancipation from this impasse of modernity, as artist Shuree Sarantuya shows in her “Kin City” video talk, which focuses on the infrastructure of life in Ulaanbaatar, the coldest capital city on earth.
Shuree Sarantuya’s video talk is based on the following article: https://berlinergazette.de/ecosystem-ulaanbaatar
The video talk was recorded at the “Kin City” festival, October 17-19, 2024 at the ZK/U – Center for Arts and Urbanistics.
