NOSYMMETRIES / SYMPOSIUM

NOSYMMETRIES is a project mounted by Idensitat within the framework of the European Care Ecologies (https://careecologies.eu) initiative. The project encourages research into and the launch of artistic processes connected with issues to do with various forms of social inequality. Through a residency, exhibition and seminar, the aim is to explore the idea of critical imagination and social creativity, with the connection between these two concepts seen as a collective process that encompasses a range of perspectives. Dissidences, disputes, violence, participation, construction of the commons, visibility/invisibility, care and social justice are some of the terms that have resonated during the residences and which are present in the exhibition and further expanded on and enriched thanks to the symposium.

The symposium is structured around conversations with invited guests and the presentation of brief lectures selected from those submitted in response to an open call for papers. The conversations will feature the participants Basha Changue and Tjasa Kancler; Valia Papastamou (Centre of New Media and Feminist Public Practices); Lucía Egaña and Giuliana Racco; Claudia Rodríguez and iki yos piña narváez funes; and Linda Porn, Vera Rodríguez, Cacao Diaz and Andrea Corrales.

The symposium draws together different viewpoints that question artistic and cultural practices connected with terms such as social justice and the ecology of care. A programme shaped by various voices, as a result of which the morning will be given over to the working group involving Idensitat and the IMARTE research group from the University of Barcelona, and the afternoon to the curatorial panel consisting of Irati Irulegi, from Idensitat, and Xeito Fole, Andrea Corrales and iki yos piña narváez funes.
