OPEN CALL:

Seminar 2 | RELAZIONARSI AL PRESENTE / RELATING TO THE PRESENT | 16-19 July 2024

Relating to the Present is Aperto’s second free intensive seminar, curated by Almanac Inn, Cripta747 and Mucho Mas! and supported by Fondazione per l’Arte Moderna e Contemporanea CRT.

In today’s changing and complex context, it is crucial to reflect on one’s own positioning and how artistic practice relates to the present and its surroundings. By exploring the concepts of community and belonging, the module aims to examine the political and plural potential of art through a reflection that moves from the personal to the collective. How can an art project enter into dialogue with a community? What is the role of activism in artistic debate and how do we define the relationship between art and social change? Relating to the Present invites participants to explore these questions through theoretical reflection and practical exercises.
