Attention Artists: Symposium “The Art of Anti-Exclusion” in Singapore – Call for presentations
Symposium “The Art of Anti-Exclusion”: Call for Presentations
Deadline: 31 Aug 2015
Time of symposium: Sep 2016
From the open call:
We live in the times of ‘Liquid Modernity’ (Bauman 2014). The preservation of privacy is a hallmark of such times, to protect individuals and elite communities against the risk of unpredictability and calamity. Gated communities keep danger at bay. Exclusion ensues as gated communities, from the secure position of distant critic, disengage with others not like them and engage in the safety of liquid global connections instead.
The Art of Anti-exclusion seeks to preserve a connection between the excluded and the gated, between the spaces of no-man’s land and spaces of high value. It seeks to establish communication across spheres that otherwise never collide and as a result, miscommunicate towards further segregation, separation and conflict.
ELIGIBILITY
