Artistic Research Platform Meeting 2021: Working Together
20.10.2021
The last ELIA Artistic Research Platform Meeting invited participants to address, investigate and re-discover the value of working together as practitioners and researchers, after having had to work in solitude during the Covid-19 pandemic.
In the book Together (2013) American sociologist Richard Sennett states that living with people who differ — racially, ethnically, religiously, or economically — is the most urgent challenge facing civil society today. We tend socially to avoid engaging with people unlike ourselves, and modern politics encourages the politics of the tribe, rather than of the city.
This AR Platform meeting aimed to reignite togetherness as an artistic, academic format where conviviality is understood as a necessary human activity.
Nina Kusturica and Barbara Wolfram attended the platform meeting.
