Necropolitics and the Aesthetic Regulation of Bodies

How does the state not only govern life—but decide who can die, who is erased, and who remains unseen?

Join us for a critical event exploring how aesthetics—the norms of beauty, order, and visibility—are used to regulate bodies, shape public space, and reinforce systemic violence.

Grounded in Achille Mbembe’s seminal concept of “necropolitics,” this event interrogates how racialised, disabled, trans, migrant, and fat bodies are not merely excluded, but actively negated through visual and cultural regimes.
