<h3><em>YANAK UYWAÑA. The Mutual Nurturing of the Arts</em><br />Elvira Espejo Ayca </h3>
<p>Elvira Espejo Ayca is an artist, musician, weaver and storyteller in the oral tradition of her place of origin, the Allyu Qaqachaka in Oruro, Bolivia. In her essay <em>YANAK UYWAÑA. The Mutual Nurturing of the Arts</em>, she speaks of reason and aesthetics as instruments of Western philosophical domination, which functions as a form of legitimization of colonial extractivism: Extractivism of raw materials, cultural goods and forms of knowledge alike. Art galleries – Espejo writes – are part of how a hierarchized epistemic geopolitics works. In the present essay, Elvira Espejo Ayca discusses paradigm shifts in how we understand art, resulting from the linguistic terminology of the Aymara language and from life in the indigenous communities themselves, through the creation of cultural goods and information resources that contribute to the understanding of mutual education as a new vision of life and also as a means of anti-colonial resistance.</p>
<p>Elvira Espejo Ayca is the director of the National Museum of Ethnography and Folklore (MUSEF) in La Paz. The present translation of <em>YANAK UYWAÑA. La crianza mutua de las artes</em>, published by PCP – Programa Cultura Política, La Paz, was produced as part of the exhibition <em>Potosí Principle – Archive</em>, a project by Alice Creischer and Andreas Siekmann, as part of the <em>Decolonial Studies Program</em> of the Academy of the Arts of the World/Cologne (Akademie der Künste der Welt/Köln).</p>

<h3><em><br />War and Violence</em><br />Maurizio Lazzarato </h3>
<p>It is not sufficient to speak of violence alone: sexual violence, racial violence, the violence of exploitation. In capitalism – Maurizio Lazzarato writes – production, whether material or immaterial, affective or desiring, always presupposes the extra-economic, extra-affective, extra-cognitive production of social classes. For production, there must be class; and to produce class, there must be a war of subjugation. For a long time, war no longer seemed to be part of political debates – it seemed merely a phenomenon from the past or the fate of distant countries on the planet. In his essay <em>War and Violence</em> post-operaist philosopher Maurizio Lazzarato talks about the permanent continuity of warlike violence, its relation to the beginning of capitalist cycles of accumulation, and the production of subjectivity.</p>
<p>The present text is a translation of Maurizio Lazzarato’s lecture <em>Guerre et Violence</em>, which was comissioned as part of the lecture and discussion series <em>On Violence</em> (2022), a collaboration between Akademie der Künste der Welt, Cologne (ADKDW) and Hebbel-am-Ufer Theater,<em> </em>Berlin (HAU). <em>On Violence</em> was curated by Max Jorge Hinderer Cruz and Margarita Tsomou.</p>
