Creation "in exile": art, justice and migration
04Apr(Apr 4)9 h 15 min05(Apr 5)16 h 15 minCreation "in exile": art, justice and migration
Details
What are the spaces and conditions for artistic creation in exile? How should artivism be understood in relation to migration? How can art "demonstrate" injustice and violence? What injunctions lie behind the figure of the "artist in exile"?
By critically examining the relationship between art, justice and migration, this colloquium offers a multidisciplinary reflection on three themes: firstly, the role of cultural structures in welcoming artists in danger, during and after the emergencies that force them to leave. Secondly, mobilisation and resistance through art, which raises the question of the link between aesthetics and politics. Finally, the way in which new creative processes can bear witness to forms of injustice.
