Kalmykia is a republic situated north west from the Caspian Sea. The Kalmyk are buddhists, descendent of Mongol Oirats which migrated to this region around 1630.

Kalmykia against Terror

Towards the end of the 19th century, the Kalmyk were featured at various world fairs, such as ‘Völkerschau’. During the Imperial International Exhibition at White City in London 1909, Russia exhibited a Kalmyk camp, alongside a Dahomy camp exhibited by France.

During the Soviet era, Kalmyk language was banned. Almost 70 years later, during the period of perestroika, it was allowed again. Due to the Soviet ban, Kalmyk is presently endangered as a living language. Sound designer Ben Burtt used the Mongolian-related Kalmyk as a starting point to develop the language of the Ewoks, for the Star Wars film ‘Return of the Jedi’.

In general, Russian culture inspired the designers of Star Wars, for example: this costume worn by the character Padme in ‘Attack of the Clones’ as seen on the right.

Fascinating interview with Lev and Roza, sharing their experiences of their deportation to Siberia. In 1943 the full population of Kalmykia had been deported, including the soldiers serving at the frontline. Only in 1957 they had been allowed to return to their motherland.

After the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, Kalmyk language was allowed again, as well as practicing Buddhism. In an attempt to re-ignite the cultural identity, first Kalmyk president Kirsan Ilyumzhinov spent millions promoting chess as the national sport, making it a compulsory subject in all primary schools.

Conflict Atlas Geopolitics and Contingencies on the Malvinas-Falklands Archipelago Jasmijn Visser

—

Conflict Atlas looks at history through the perspective of the Falklands Islands/Islas Malvinas. Global events are mirrored to local proceedings on the archipelago. Through this method it explores trade routes, colonial enterprises, patterns of migration, questions of identity, strategies in warfare and the role of the climate in social issues. Conflict Atlas comprises texts, maps and archival materials. Starting from the case of the Falklands/Malvinas it aims to create a field of tensions by the multiplication and stratification of geographical sites, historical times and subjective views.

Exhibition

MODERN CANDOR. THE STRUGGLE FOR THE FALKLAND ISLANDS / ISLAS MALVINAS

27 januari 2017 - 07 mei 2017

An exhibition of Jasmijn Visser

At the Allard Pierson Museum

With books and maps from the Special Collections of the University of Amsterdam

27 January 2017 – 7 May 2017

Address: Oude Turfmarkt 127, Amsterdam

Opening and book launch: January 26 at 16.30-18.30 hrs; please RSVP here.

Although the exhibition Modern Candor concerns the Falklands/Malvinas conflict, visitors to the Allard Pierson Museum will only find two maps of the archipelago. Instead, artist Jasmijn Visser has created an installation with a selection of rare books and maps of Panama, Zimbabwe, Nepal and the moon from the Special Collections of the University of Amsterdam. Some of these materials have never been exhibited before.

Using a geographical perspective based around the Falkland Islands/Islas Malvinas, Visser shows, for example, how the opening of the Panama Canal in 1914 changed global trade routes, which greatly reduced the importance of the port on the Falkland Islands; or how since 2009, Zimbabweans have been clearing the landmines that the Argentinians planted on the islands during the Falklands War with the United Kingdom in 1982. Visser highlights these relationships in the texts on the floor-plan that leads the visitors through the exhibition, guiding them from scene to scene, as it were. In this way, Visser connects local events on the islands with major turning points in world history.

In this exhibition, conceived as a singular installation, Visser combines maps and books from the Special Collections with infographics that she made in collaboration with Metahaven for the publication Conflict Atlas. Geopolitics and contingencies on the Malvinas – Falklands archipelago. The exhibition elaborates on the Conflict Atlas, which is the culmination of Visser’s extensive field research; Visser spent three months on the Falkland Islands and researched how, from the first moments of exploration, world powers have influenced the landscape, politics and social sphere of the islands.

In the exhibition and publication, Visser shows the interaction between local and global events. Distance is important: the remote Falkland Islands / Islas Malvinas assume the role of another planet from which one can observe the spectacle of human enterprise unfold. Visser reveals human behaviour that can best be described as ‘contingent’- the opposite of necessary. The exhibition shows how haphazard events and spontaneous decisions lead to absurd plot twists, and ultimately, to war in 1982.
