While pursuing the questions posed by the postcolonial present, Lotte Arndt is working across disciplines combining university research and the art field. She has just finished a cultural studies thesis entitled Chantiers du devenir en des espaces contraints. Négociations postcoloniales dans les revues culturelles parisiennes, portant sur l’Afrique, 1947 à 2012 (Constructing the future in confined spaces. Postcolonial negotiations in Parisian cultural reviews, concerning Africa, 1947 to 2012) (Humboldt University of Berlin and Université Paris VII, Denis Diderot). In addition to that, she has cooperated with the Frankfurt Research Center for Postcolonial Studies (organising with them the international colloquium Colonial Legacies, Postcolonial Contestations: Decolonizing the Social Sciences and the Humanities, at the Goethe Universität, June 2011). She is currently working as a guest researcher at the École Nationale Supérieure des arts de Clermont Métropole (ENSACM) where she has collaborated on the project “Les paysages déplacés: Import-Export” (Displaced landscapes: Import-Export). By working regularly with a group of artists and researchers on the project Ruser l’image (Fooling images) (events in January 2013 in Nantes, December 2013 in Aubervilliers), she has sought to help develop cultural strategies to subvert rigid representations, hierarchical social classifications and the corrosive effect of inequality and exclusion.
