From the late 1980s on, economic globalization has directly influenced the sphere of cultural exchanges, driving the reinvention of the avenues for creation and artistic exchange. That has paved the way for practice- and research-oriented networks capable of reversing the knowledge flow, which moved from North to South up until then. The focus Residences and Routes to Art Research will discuss how artistic residency experiences reverberate upon the dynamics of collaboration between agents and institutions that relate to art, culture, and various spheres of society.

 

“Transnationality” as horizon
November 10, 2 p.m. — Sesc Pompeia / Galpão

The concept of "transnational" networks presents itself as the horizon in the tackling of a series of contemporary artistic and curatorial practices. This concept is coupled with the critique of exchange models based on identity matrices and national representations. Is the “transnational” perspective translated into networks and open transit policies, or is it a purely discoursive model that has to face the traditional forms of cultural exchange?
