The seminar will be held on the 3rd (Thursday) and 4th (Friday) of August 2023, at Auditorium Sede Rectorado Juncal de la Universidad Nacional de Tres de Febrero (UNTREF), Juncal 1319, in Buenos Aires (Argentina).
A joint undertaking by the National University of Tres de Febrero – UNTREF and arte!brasileiros, on the occasion of the opening of the BIENALSUR23, the seminar is part of a series of international meetings that the arte!brasileiros has been developing for the last 12 years in Brazil and aims to initiate an effective exchange of reflections on our colonial history as a continent. In this sense, it intends to discuss the impact that the new counter-hegemonic narratives have had on the system of culture and contemporary art in different parts of the world and, more specifically, in Latin America.
Renowned curators, scholars, artists, historians and cultural professionals from different parts of Latin America will present, over two days, between 18:21 pm and XNUMX:XNUMX pm, in four tables, questions about democracy and reparation, decolonization, the place of reporting, memory, narratives and the real and the different international movements that have been taking place in relation to restitution.
All presentations will be transmitted via streaming through the institutional websites of the BIENNIAL and arte!brasileiros, with simultaneous translation (Spanish-Portuguese, Portuguese-Spanish). Likewise, there will be simultaneous translation mechanisms for English-speaking guests.
