*October 15- 17 octobre, 2020*





The theme of this session is art and activism in Latin America. Art and
activism are two distinct academic disciplines, but ones which can dialogue
and merge into action, which ranges from cultural production to a mutual
understanding of contemporary political and social changes. We will
therefore look at Latin America contemporary artists whose work blends art
and activism. Artists in different contexts and Latin America countries
have increasingly positioned themselves in situations of political and
social change, from climate change to human rights. The current political
crises, the coronavirus crises and the consequences to the global economy,
as well as the social struggles that lead to large influxes of Latin
America migrants into the United States, have already inspired many.
Further examples to be deepened in this research are the works that focus
on refugees fleeing political persecution, Latin America protest art,
social injustices, resistance, art and politics.
