From the displacements and geographies in motion outlined by Marie Ange Bordas, the editor of Caderno Sesc_Videobrasil 09, to visions of contemporary Africa and the "passersby ethics" suggested by the Cameroonian thinker Achille Mbembe. The fifth focus, The South in Perspective, is a program that focuses on the flows and cartographic subjectivities that point to a contemporary world being redesigned.
Geographies in motion
December 5, 20h — Sesc Pompeia / Galpão
Inspired in Rosi Braidotti, to whom “the identity of the nomadic subject is a map of where he has been," Caderno Sesc_Videobrasil 09: Geographies in motion resumes artist Marie Ange Bordas' Displacements project. At the meeting, the editor and three of the publication’s collaborators discuss concepts such as territorialization and affective cartography.
