Art, Culture, Memory and Trauma will focus on the analysis of current curatorial and artistic practices that analyze and formalize aesthetic approaches to the traumatic inheritance of social and political conflictual events and to the processes of memorialization and aesthetization.
In particular by taking as starting point the legacy of Cyprus’ conflict and the war in Afghanistan, the symposium will analyze questions related to Body Politics (Nicholas Mirzoeff), diaspora and memorialization. The questions will focus on curatorial and artistic practices as well as on the difficulties of overcoming borders and national cultural boundaries in order to develop artistic engagements and curatorial projects.
