DISPOSITIFS POST- EXPANDED SEMINAR is an Idensitat project, in association with the Fundació Antoni Tàpies, an attempt to open a semi-permanent space for reflection, training and cross-disciplinary work.
The Expanded Seminar seeks to engage in depth with questions worked during the first part of the project Dispositius Post, in order to keep these questions in mind, as well as to implement methodologies for those projects seeking to make an impact upon social space using creative practices.
GENERAL TOPICS
DISPOSITIFS POST- | S+T+I explores the role of creative practices in relation to citizen action networks of assuming and advancing proposals for future transformation. A series of questions for analysis in this theatre of debate arises from the relationship between social space and creative space, imagining future options. These issues will be argued and discussed in the context of a seminar, a workshop and a series of interventions in public space.
What are the interactions between art and social space in the contemporary context? Can art really influence the social sphere? What role may citizen action networks play with regard to future policies? In a time when the public is involved in emancipatory processes, what role may cultural/art practices play, from the perspective of the reactivation of social space? How is creativity channeled into city-building processes? What happens when the function of art is to be useful? Is there an abuse of this kind of practice? Neglect, passivity, impotence, decline or scheduled dismantling of public institutions? Do we need a reconstruction of the institutional? What role can creative projects play in a context of crisis models? Are artistic practices necessary in contemporary future societies? What is the role of cultural institutions in a new paradigm led by mobilised citizens?
