ARS22—Gathering invites us to come together to discuss and develop critical thinking about the modern world. Guided by anthropological, artistic, sociological and philosophical positions, the event is organized around four main themes: gender and identity, decolonial narratives and positions, technology and the digital turn and ecology and more-than-human agencies. The ARS22 Gathering is an organic extension of ARS22—Living Encounters exhibition.
The speakers of the seminar include: Christina Sharpe, Mel Y Chen, Achille Mbembe, Slavs and Tatars, Petra Laiti, Pirjo Virtanen, Nitin Sawhney, Agnieszka Kurant and Elizabeth A. Povinelli. For full program, please visit the website.
