The Symposium on Decolonial Aesthetics From The Americas will host diverse artists and scholars of the Americas and the Caribbean. Featuring papers, workshops and performances, the symposium will provide an unparalleled opportunity to engage the diversity of contemporary aesthetic practices informed by decolonial thought. We are pleased to announce the preliminary programme and participants.
Each Conversatorio or conversational panels will feature three or four people who will deliver a presentation that will serve to engage the audience in a collective dialogue. The presenters will have a space previous to the panel in which they can exchange their views in order to structure their participation as a conversation. The Conversational panel’s layout will be circular, allowing a relation that isn’t based on hierarchical structures, implying the acknowledgement and recognition of what is expressed by every subject.
The worktable is a model that will include several facilitators along with registered audience members in a roundtable setting. Throughout the 3 days of the symposium the worktables will meet to discuss questions relevant to the participants’ practice in relation to the theme of decolonial aesthetics. At the end of the symposium they will be given the opportunity to present a summary of their findings and questions to a larger audience. Registration for worktables beginns on September 15.
Registration to the symposium includes a one year subscritption to FUSEMagazine, as well as the special issue on decolonial thought.
