The sound recording of the seminar Diverging Gazes: Art, Politics, Coloniality and their Transnational Networks (La Casa Encendida, 8 de abril de 2016) are now available in our multimedia section.

Assuming a plural conception of modernity and seeking to decentralize the Paris-New York axis, this research seminar presented a polyphonic and multifocal analysis of art in the transatlantic axis during the Cold War. Through a keynote speech and the presentation of three doctoral projects, different experimental artistic proposals have been discussed by examining their aesthetic and social programs, emphasizing their ability to articulate models of political resistance and analyzing the politics of representation they are involved in.
