ON MEDIATION/9
–Curatorial Practices for Ecosocial Transition–
Curatorial practices are exposed to a transition that adjust them to the challenges of facing the environmental, social and political crisis caused by advanced capitalism and climate change. Within this context, the 9th edition of On Mediation proposes a space for reflection and experimentation based on different contributions from the national and international context focused on exploring new forms of community and its relationship with new modes of co-habitation with nature.
The research group AGI (Art, Globalization, Interculturality) presents the ninth edition (2021-2022) of the training seminar ON MEDIATION, a program of theoretical and practical studies on curatorship aimed at artists, curators, critics, students, researchers, art historians and other groups interested in the process of creating exhibitions and artistic projects beyond the disciplinary field.
