Recent formulations in curatorial work and artistic programming seem to carry an urgent political tone, but who issues this call but often the professional managerial class, or the indebted, educated but underclassed precariat? Who answers? How urgent, how audible? Was that disruptive? I lingered on the notion of a “spectacle of difference” that reproduces “inequality” and solidarity as a disruptive force hinged upon the context of “normalised oppression” in resistance to the “reduction of human perspective” (I am dropping the awkward anthropocentrism now) because, objectively, Solidarity as Disruption is a short film program, so to broach the question of political and liberatory materialism, we must encounter it as such. Instead, solidarity is presented as a form of social intellect that is against reductionism. Against these terms of engagement, solidarity is not the scurry to appear, nor is it the practical unification of people in struggle. In their program notes, solidarity is formulated as “one of the central concepts of change”, however, they have also prescribed that change as a horizon that is “reduced to a spectacle of difference that does not disturb the reproduction of inequality.” Within this formulation, the disruptive quality of solidarity is also contingent on a pre-existing system of normalised oppression, “Solidarity is disruptive in a system where inequality, exploitation and oppression are normalised.” Therefore disruptive solidarity is a force that resists the “reduction of human perspective.” Three central antagonisms are identified an obstinate spectacle of difference, a system of normalised oppression, and the reduction of perspective s. As we anticipate solidarity statements within movements of urgent appearances of liberatory political values, the theme program curators Branka Benčić and Aleksandra Sekulić situate Solidary as Disruption against the political backdrop of a neoconservative counter-revolution. However, it has also emerged as a necessary piece in the maintenance of public relations for businesses, public organisations and figures to dispatch statements of solidarity under the duress of a mass political reckoning. Solidarity is elemental in the empowerment and unification of people to accomplish collective goals and exercise political agency.

In the period between postponement and adaptation, mutual aid networks and redistribution campaigns proliferated in tandem with a maelstrom of calls for, and answers from, cultural institutions and corporations to issue expressions of solidarity with Black Lives Matter and Free Palestine, to cite only two movements. This year, a selection of that program was adapted for the 67th edition, which was hosted online again. In last year’s festival report of Internationale Kurzfilmtage Oberhausen I lamented a number of programs that were postponed, including the theme program, Solidarity as Disruption.
