Immersed in contexts marked by history’s dilemmas, the art sphere inevitably expresses the relationships that inform the social fabric. Its discourses, silences, or denouncements reveal the tensions between what we wish to remember or to forget. The meeting discussed the practices of thinkers and artists who look to destabilize (or reiterate) the limiting political forces of history and memory.
The Seminar Places and meanings in art: debates from the South, with curation and mediation from Sabrina Moura, looks to expand on key issues raised by the shows that make up the 19th Contemporary Art Festival Sesc_Videobrasil. In connection with the Southern Observatory study program, initiated in May 2015 in partnership with the Goethe-Institut, the seminar will discuss the expansion of art as a knowledge production field. Over the course of four meetings in October, we will engage in dialogue with thinkers, writers and artists to rethink their traditions, spaces of circulation, narratives, and histories.
