Webinar 1 Migrations | Mediations. Promoting Intercultural Dialogue through Media, Visual and Performing Arts

Series of Online Seminars April-May 2021

This series of Webinars intends to start a reflection with academic and independent researchers, artists, cultural providers, public and private funders, and policymakers about the role of media, visual and performing arts in the promotion of intercultural dialogue.

The first Webinar will focus on the one hand on the importance of culture in the process that leads from integration to inclusion and in the building of a positive narrative; on the other hand, it will concentrate on migration and the circuits of film culture.

A World in Transition. In-between Performing Arts and Migration

dalla Redazione

Il 7 marzo presso il DAMSLab di Bologna, il Dipartimento di Sociologia e Diritto dell’Economia dell’Università di Bologna in collaborazione con il Dipartimento delle Arti e Emilia Romagna Teatro Fondazione, organizza il convegno internazionale “A World in Transition. In-between Performing Arts and Migration“. Il Convegno “vede studiosi e artisti internazionali confrontarsi sui diversi linguaggi in grado di costruire immaginari e narrative alternative sulla migrazione, alimentare la definizione di strumenti scientifici trasversali, dare corso alla creazione di spazi simbolici e fisici in cui sì manifesta il carattere dinamico e produttivo della diversità”.

Al convegno ci saranno tra gli altri interventi di Ruggero Eugeni, Laura Peja, Roberta Carpani, Giulia Innocenti Malini, Martina Guerinoni, ricercatori del progetto “Migrations-Mediations“.

A World in Transition. In-between Performing Arts and Migration

Costruire ponti tra la ricerca teorica e le arti performative, oltre le mura del teatro e dei settori disciplinari, in un movimento di andata e ritorno tra dimensione locale e transnazionale. Mettendo in dialogo chi fa ricerca sul campo e chi opera attraverso pratiche performative, la conferenza A World in Transition. In-between Performing Arts and Migrationvede studiosi e artisti internazionali confrontarsi sui diversi linguaggi in grado di costruire immaginari e narrative alternative sulla migrazione, alimentare la definizione di strumenti scientifici trasversali, dare corso alla creazione di spazi simbolici e fisici in cui sì manifesta il carattere dinamico e produttivo della diversità. Alternando interventi teorici e performativi, la conferenza si divide tra una sezione plenaria mattutina, in cui verranno presentati alcuni progetti innovativi sul tema, e sei panel tematici di approfondimento.
