On Thursday 9 December 2021 from 10.00h to 12.00h anthropologist Sinan Çankaya will give a zoom-lecture for the seminar Landscapes of Migration within the program of the Mehrdimensionale Strategien Klasse at Kunsthochschule Kassel.
Sinan Çankaya (1982) was born in Nijmegen in the Netherlands. He obtained his doctorate with research on diversity within the police organisation (Buiten veiliger dan binnen- Safer outdoors than indoors, 2011). He is specialised in subjects such as human rights, diversity, racism and ethnic profiling.
In 2020, Çankaya gained widespread recognition with his book Mijn Ontelbare Identiteiten (My Innumerable Identities), an attempt to describe that 'race' is not a definite unit. Currently Dr. Sinan Çankaya works as a university lecturer at VU University Amsterdam and he also writes columns and stories, for De Correspondent and Al Jazeera, among others.
Sinan Çankaya’s contribution is the second one of the current seminar Landscapes of Migration, organised by artists Matthijs de Bruijne and Cecilia Vallejos whom together with the students of Mehrdimensionale Strategien Klasse give shape to a series of talks by artists and writers on issues of immigration and integration in Germany as well as elsewhere in Europe.
This session is open to art students and scholars of the different departments of the University of Kassel as well as to other young art practitioners interested on this topic.
