Additional Contact Information

Originally from the Bergische Land (Nordrhein-Westfalen), I studied German literature, history and communication at the Freie Universität Berlin. As part of my undergraduate programme I went on an Erasmus exchange to the University of Vienna. After my Magister Artium I completed a doctorate in German literature. Having worked as a tutor for GfL (German as a Foreign Language) in the private sector in Berlin, I went to the University of Sheffield as DAAD-Lektorin in 2012. In autumn 2016 I came to Bangor University.

Teaching

At the Freie Universität Berlin and the Humboldt Universität zu Berlin I offered several modules on Political Studies and German Literature of the 20th century. As a DAAD-Lektor at the University of Sheffield (2012-2016) I taught modules on contemporary German culture and media, post-wall German art, film and performance, as well as modules on contemporary German literature. Alongside this research led teaching, I have been teaching German language at all levels (ab initio to near native competence) since 2011. At Bangor University I continue teaching German language at all levels, as well as undergraduate and postgraduate teaching in my field of research expertise, this includes e.g. the modules "Culture in Context" (LXE 1600); "The German Film" (LXG 2008), "Performing Germany" (LXG 3036), "German Avant-Garde" (LXM 4037) and "Critical Theory" (LXM 4001).

In my teaching, I prefer to integrate artistic practices, such as Happenings and Creative Writing exercises. I was nominated for the Special Recognition Award.

Research

My current research interests are 20th and 21st century Avant Garde, with a focus on performance. Here, my core research considers the German film maker, theatre director and actionist artist Christoph Schlingensief (1960-2010). 

I critically re-read hegemonic theories of the Avant Garde to make them receptive for contemporary process-oriented art practices as investigations into political, social, and ecological dynamics of our contemporary world. Interdisciplinary collaboration and a co-creative methodology enables me to find a new language for a concise understanding of the dynamics unleashed by the various localised forms of artistic engagements we find today, often stemming from or referring to (trans)national Avant Garde(s).

Since 2020, I mostly pursue collaborative and co-created research with artist communities in Wales and beyond. I have a particularly interest in Welsh artist Paul Davies (1949-1993), founding member of pivotal art group Becca ("Welsh Not" at 1977 National Eisteddfod in Wrexham) and a core agent of the less visible tradition of socially-engaged art in Wales. Thanks to Paul Davies' family gift to Bangor University archive, an AHRC funded CDP PhD is now able to look into a core chapter of post-war art history in North Wales. Thanks to support from Welsh Water and Anglesey Council we were able to re-discover a formerly forgotten massive land art sculpture by Paul Davies at Llyn Alaw reservoir. My research has been enabling a significant number of artists to launch or take further their artist careers, win residencies, Arts Council funding or commissions from national institutions (National Museum Wales), and engage with their audiences in thorough and sustainable relationships. My research generated academic and artistic outputs, ranging from peer-reviewed journal articles and chapters, international conferences to art exhibitions, art residencies and performances. 

I am also engaged in diversifying the critical thinking methods in academia by engageing with artistic research methods. In this context I co-founded the Avant Garde experimental art collective NWK, kindly supported by Deutsch-Walisische Freundschaft. 

One further creative writing projects is a performative writing exercise in which both Welsh and German are explored in their shared knowledge about Fluxus art. For this purpose, I invented a new literary genre called "Verifiction". This critical method is informed by Avant Garde strategies and has shown suitable for uncovering hidden knowledge in language.  

Further research interests lie in the interrelations of literature and architecture and, more generally, in the history, culture, politics and literature of post-1945 Germany, including the former GDR. In my doctoral thesis I look at metaphors of building and dwelling in post-war and contemporary German literature and culture. In addition I am interested in contemporary German literature in general.

  • From Avant Garde to Afon Gad – Artistic practices in Wales. Now and then. A conversation performance for Direct Art

    We are delighted to invite you to an open conversation with artists Lindsey Colbourne, Peter Davies, Lisa Hudson, Pete Telfer and Wanda Zyborska.

    Together we will dive into a conversation about contemporary arts practices in Wales and their predecessors. We would be delighted if you want to join our conversation and share your memories of arts events which stayed with you throughout years and decades.

    Where and when: Bangor, Pontio, PL2, 22.6.2022, 5:30-7pm.

    * In 1972, German Fluxus artist Joseph Beuys decided to contribute a durational performance of 100 days to the Documenta 5 (Art World Exhibition in Kassel, Germany). For the so-called Office for Direct Democracy Beuys spent 100 days discussing together with visitors various social design issues relating to direct democracy. Conversation as art. To some extent, we will draw on his idea of art as emerging through conversation.

    One of my arts memories which stayed with me was the so-called “Boxing Match for Direct Art” in May 2021 on Ynys Faelog in Menai Bridge. Joseph Beuys and Max Boyce fought for Direct Art as Direct Debit. By doing that Beuys and Boyce somehow re-enacted the “Boxing Match for Direct Democracy” which Joseph Beuys and Abraham David Christian fought on the very Documenta 5 on October 8 1972. Beuys won – both times.

  • From Avant Garde to Afon gad

    Do you remember when Paul Davies (Grwp Beca) and a group of arts students from the Arts foundation course at Bangor went to Llyn Alaw on Anglesey for co-creating a muddy Map of Wales? Or do you remember 1977 when Meredydd Davies, Maeyc Hewitt, Wil Jones, Stephen Davies, Celyn Davies and Alan Holmes and others shot their Super 8 splatter films in various locations around Bangor? Or have you been on High Street in June 2021, when Rhona Bowey, Lindsey Colbourne, Lisa Hudson, Emily Meilleur, Steph Shipley and Wanda Zyborska, all dressed as social -distancing crones roamed Bangor, handing out cake and plants? Or maybe you witnessed how – one lockdown day in 2020, a silver when a group of five crone dressed women were handing out cake and flowers on Bangor High Street, or do you recall a silver Suzuki Alto was floating through Maesgeirchen, its drivers spreading poetry into the streets with a megaphone?

    Wales bears millions of these odd moments, when something not quite normal happens, art emerges and changes place and time, sometimes only for a short moment, sometimes for weeks, sometimes forever. But too often these moments are not well documented, remain oral history or anecdotes ... or often fall into oblivion. Oblivion ... too often a Welsh thing.

    We want to change this, we seek for bringing these moments back to life ... in conversations, in revisiting sites, in re-enacting – and we are seeking for making the past, the present and the future dance together. Maybe we will realise that there is a Welsh tradition of Avant-Garde art practices out there – maybe under the radar, but as relevant as ever.

    Sarah Pogoda invites artists, members of the community and academics to explore Avant-Garde arts practices in Wales, their history and our memories of predecessors. With a series of events – ranging from performances, discussions, artistic experiments to talks – Sarah wishes to start the collective exploration this early summer. Please do join her. All events are free of charge, some are bi-lingual, some might not, some are multi-lingual, some are not.

    If you cannot make it to one of the events, but you still have stories, documents, photos, film or other you want share, please get in touch with Sarah.

  • BU-IIA Funded Project: Placing Experiment: Artistic Practice and the Nonhuman

    The focus of the project is on how experimental process and procedure in art and writing, influenced by the avant-gardes of the twentieth century, may be newly imagined in a local and global post-pandemic context. Such modes are no longer linked to specific avant-garde groupings, but offer a means of exploring potential in language and materials, and relationships to  the environment, to place. For example, the techniques of Oulipo and Fluxus may be appreciated anew as a means of critiquing and understanding the limitations and potential of human autonomy, including the large-scale effects of humans on the environment. How can process-based writing and site-specific performance help us to understand  the wider distribution of agency and meaning beyond the human? Could this lead to better ecological understanding? How can this critique of subjectivity help to inform scientific processes?

  • Small Scale Solutions: Re-Inventing the Live Event

    Has Covid-19 killed the live event? Many in the Creative Industries fear so (e.g. Biado: 2020), and there is evidence to suggest that audiences will only gradually return (e.g. Audience Agency 2021). The creative responses from arts practitioners during the Covid-19 lockdowns are therefore likely to be central to the revitalisation of public engagement with live arts events following the pandemic. Can we say with confidence: ‘Long live the live event!’? Post-Covid, the live event will certainly be different. Our online conference aims to share ideas, experiences and findings around new kinds of art event. We are particularly interested in small scale events which are not mainly pursued online. Together we will explore the diverse creative responses which have emerged to meet the challenges presented by the pandemic in relation to live events, audience engagement and the creation of ‘liveness’. The online conference will bring together arts practitioners, audiences, stakeholders, funders and researchers.

  • Dada. Or: How to treat your hobby horse with multi-lingual soap.

    In this unit students learned about one of the most radical European art movements from early 20th century: Dada. They got an idea how Dada was an artistic response to World War I. By looking at representative art works they gained insights on how Dada’s open-minded and multi-lingual nature generated a transformative force which is still echoing in today’s world. Some DIY activities made them challenge their understanding of art and might have resulted in them re-inventing themselves as a Dadaist. At the end of this unit, we discussed on how language learning is not only about communicating with others from all over the world, but how it is also an entrance point to so far unknown spaces of creativity, critical thinking and fun.

  • Verifiktion

    Verifiktion ist ein Wortspiel aus den Begriffen Verifikation und Fiktion. Der Begriff soll die Amalgamierung der Bereiche der Wissenschaft und der Kunst verkörpern, ist also der künstlerischen Forschung zuzuordnen. Zugleich nimmt er sich seiner selbst als Paradoxon – ein Verifiktiontext behauptet gewissermaßen auf Grund seiner Fiktionalität einen Sachverhalt zu beglaubigen, also zu verifizieren. Darin angelegt ist auch die Verunsicherung, was ein wahrer Sachverhalt ist und wo die Erfahrung von Wirklichkeit beginnt: im Handeln oder im Denken (=Schreiben).

    Hinzuzufügen ist: Wir sind der Freundschaft verpflichtet, eingeschworen auf das Deutsch-Walisische (siehe Veriguhtvränds).

  • Welsh Crucible

    Welsh Crucible is an award-winning programme of personal, professional and leadership development for the future research leaders of Wales.

    Funded by a consortium of Welsh universities, in partnership with the Higher Education Funding Council for Wales, there is a high demand for places on Welsh Crucible from researchers who are beginning to demonstrate excellence in their respective fields.

    Every year, 30 researchers are selected to participate in a series of residential workshops or ‘skills labs’ where participants explore how they can benefit from working with researchers in other disciplines, how their research can have greater impact, and how they can build international research careers in Wales. Participants continue to build collaborations with each other beyond the formal programme and the Welsh Crucible alumni network enables connections to be made between cohorts.
