In the context of globalized art production, history equally becomes a circulating resource and a challenge as how to address the specificities of local publics in the politics of remembrance. Articulations in public space, ranging from performances to monuments, are perceived as both, critical negotiators and crucial identifiers. The symposium ”How to Identify with Difference“ aims to foster transnational and cross-disciplinary exchange and debate about the legacy and contemporary redefinitions of feminist practices between art and activism navigating the troubled territories of identifications and the on-going negotiation of history in the public realm.
The lectures are in English.
