Aesthetic strategies for social mobilisation" round-table discussion at the Frac Paca, Marseille

Saturday 21 January - 5pm

Aesthetic strategies for social mobilisation.

Round table discussion proposed by Léa Battais, doctoral student in art history, as part of the "Archive vitale de la révolte. Esthétiques dissidentes de l'Octubre Chileno."

This round-table discussion, bringing together researchers and artists, will look at the uses and place of art during periods of dissent, in continuity with the historicisation and sometimes difficult documentation of these events. Between visibility, memory, censorship and the destruction of the posterity of these historical episodes and the visual productions that accompany them, these exchanges will be based on a globalised approach between Latin America and the Mediterranean.

In partnership with Aix-Marseille Université, Mesopolhis, UMR7064, AMU, Sciences Po Aix, CNRS - TELEMMe, UMR 7303, AMU, CNRS, CAER (Centre Aixois d'Études Romanes) and LESA (Labo d'Études en Sciences de l'Art).
