Seminar: Arts in Africa and in its diasporas: practices, knowledges, mobilities
This seminar seeks to offer reflections on the driving forces of forms, practices and artistic knowledge of the conception and the circulation of structures, movements, ideologies and political imaginaries on the african continent and in its diaspora. In this framework, our researches will focus on the visual and performative arts, in a broad sense (danse, theatre, fine arts, photograpy, cinema, music, litterature, digital arts...) and will follow an historian, critical and transdisciplinary approach.
Anthropology, visual culture and materiel history, curatorial studies history, art history, colonial, postcolonial, decolonial and diasporic studies, as well as political sciences... will meet and question each other . Each session will be build around a presentation by invited speakers researchers or/and designers/practitioners, wether they are artists, cultural actors or activists. Capturing diversity and a large range of viewpoints, presented works and approaches will have in common to take account that works (on) intersections between art(s) and politic(s ) imply to start from a bedrock where reflexting and theorising are required.
2018-2019: Future Arts Practices in the African World and its Diasporas
Future, or better, futures. Futures of cities, of ecologies, of constructions of genders; futures of technics and sciences; of the violence - political, economical, social ; of hope; the mere notions of future... Thinking, speaking, give substance to these futures and to others, connected, from Africa and its diasporas: these are crucial tasks that - through their practices and reflexions - artists, cinematographers, performers writers, philosophers, reserchers, curators, and cultural activists who will present their work during the seminar will try to target. Committed, rebellious, even radical, the proposals that they develop undermine preconceived ideas and doxas.
