Robert Williams presented on the 'Die Praxis der Wunderkammer / The Practice of the Wunderkammer' strand of this conference. This conference will seek an overview of current debates and of artistic and curatorial strategies concerning the wunderkammer. The contemporary version of the cabinet of curiosities is a machine for alternative world views, because inquiring minds and the thirst for knowledge cannot be tamed. What are the curiosities of the 21st century? Who are the freaks, what the monstrosities and where the mirabilia of the digital age? What are the politics, ideologies and dynamics of today's Kunst- and Wunderkammer? Diese Tagung möchte einen Überblick über aktuelle Debatten und künstlerische wie kuratorische Strategien zur Wunderkammer liefern. Was sind die Kuriositäten des 21. Jahrhunderts? Wer, die Freaks, was die Monstrositäten oder die Mirabilia des digitalen Zeitalters? Heute stellen Kuriositätenkabinette Maschinen für alternative Weltentwürfe dar, denn Neugierde, Schaulust oder Wissensdurst können nicht domestiziert werden. Was also sind die Politiken, Ideologien und Dynamiken zeitgenössischer Kunst- und Wunderkammern?

Here we describe modified syntheses of o-acetylbenzoic acids and o-acetylphenylacetic acids by Heck palladium-catalysed arylation of n-butyl vinyl ether with o-iodobenzoic acids or with o-iodophenylacetic acids, respectively. General syntheses of benzo[b]naphtho[2,3-b]furan-6,11-diones from o-acetylbenzoic acids and 2-benzyl3-hydroxynaphthalene-1,4-diones from o-acetylphenylacetic acids are also reported. ; This work has received financial support from the Xunta de Galicia (Centro singular de investigación de Galicia accreditation 2016–2019, ED431G/09; and Project GRC2014/040), the European Union (Europe- an Regional Development Fund-ERDF), FONDECYT (Research Grants 1161816 and 1141264) and Galchimia S.A. ; SI

This paper engages with the artistic practice and work of Vanessa Dion Fletcher (Potawatomi and Lenapé) from my perspective as a non-Indigenous academic and curator. Dion Fletcher and I have worked together over the past several years through discussions about her work, studio visits, and various events. In her art practice, Dion Fletcher uses porcupine quills and menstrual blood to inquire into a range of issues and concepts including Indigenous language revitalization, feminist Indigenous corporeality, Land as pedagogy, decolonization, and neurodiversity. In particular her work confronts the ways that Indigeneity, the queer and gendered body, and disability are rendered expendable. In this paper I engage with Dylan Robinson's "sovereign sense": a transcorporeal mode of perception that is affective, land-based, and formed through relations between human and non-humans. Dion Fletcher's work makes palpable this sense of sovereignty through its unruly and mutating feltness. Further, her work makes visible feminist Indigenous artistic acts of resurgence alongside the frictions at the intersections of settler colonialism and disability. Following Karyn Recollet, I contend that Dion Fletcher's work activates an Indigenous affective experience of futurity and creative intimacy that in turn imagines disability and Indigeneity as sites through which new pedagogical relations can be formed.
