The Kunstfort is proud to welcome indigenous philosopher Milton Almonacid from Chile, affiliated with the University of Copenhagen, as a resident at the fort. Almonacid focuses on decolonisation of knowledge and spirit, ‘whiteness studies’, indigenous knowledge theory and non-Western global narratives, among others.

During his res­i­dency at the Kunstfort, Milton will in­teract with art academies, in­di­vidual artists and local par­ties spe­cial­ising in urban de­vel­op­ment, among others.

This res­i­dency has been es­tab­lished with our partner Valley of the Pos­sible in Chile. On 29 June, in col­lab­o­ra­tion with Valley of the Pos­sible and Felix Meritis in Amsterdam, the meeting: BLACK EARTH | Cultivating the Collapse will take place, around Mil­ton’s chal­lenging premise, that we should em­brace and cul­ti­vate col­lapse, rather than trying to pre­vent it. On 12 July the public programme Collaborating with destruction: Another approach to designing the future with philosopher in residence Milton Almonacid takes place at the Kunstfort, in collaboration with Podium voor Architectuur.
