Talk | Explore the Creative Movement of Muslim Futurism


This talk introduces Muslim futurism as a creative movement that uses fashion, art, and imagination to envision new ways of being, believing, and belonging. Drawing on her work as a scholar-artist, Reyhab Patel's talk will explore how everyday acts like getting dressed can become meaningful expressions of faith, identity, and future-making. Through visual culture and storytelling, this talk invites audiences to see Muslim futurism not as speculation alone, but as a lived and creative practice that imagines what comes next. Introduction by Romana Mirza, Assistant Professor, Fashion Management & Social Justice, School of Fashion, Parsons School of Design, The New School.

Lecture | Reaching the Masses Through Sports: Visual Propaganda of Spartakiads in Central and Eastern Europe, 1920s-1930s


In 1921, the first Spartakiad was organized in Prague, and subsequently in 1928, the first All-Union Spartakiad in Moscow, while the 1928 edition in Prague and 1931 edition in Berlin were cancelled due to political reasons. Contrary to the Olympic Games, these events were not aimed at cultivating national victories and individual athletic records, but at mobilizing workers for the class struggle and at creating new culture for the working class. This talk examines the visual propaganda of the realized and unrealized Spartakiads expressed through prints, illustrations, posters, postcards, photomontages, and photographs. It emphasizes the significance of Spartakiads as the biggest cultural mass-events for workers, and a counter-Olympic events, as visualized by avant-garde and modernist artists from Czechoslovakia, the Soviet Union, Poland and Hungary. Speaker Przemyslaw Strozek is an Associate Professor at the Institute of Art of the Polish Academy of Sciences and an Associate Researcher and curator at the Archiv der Avantgarden, Dresden.
