This Thursday, May 9, at 7:00 p.m. in the Ceremonial Hall of the Consistorial Palace, the program Cartagena Piensa, belonging to the Department of Culture of the City of Cartagena, organizes in the Festival Much More May the round table 'Art and politics from migratory contexts. '
It involved Isidro López-Aparicio, artist and curator, Gertrudis Rivalta, artist, and Aurora Alcaide, artist and university professor.
This table proposed as a conversation will be moderated by Elena Azzedín, also an artist and cultural manager.
The Festival Much More May dedicates a privileged attention to the formative activities constituting one of the most excellent pillars of the festival, reunited in the section called Laboratory Formative.
This section includes critical knowledge, learning, experimentation and the different points of view to which current art is exposed.
Today art makes politics directly from specific historical and cultural contexts.
We propose a debate table that has as its central axis the migratory movements, to question the political discourses of art, and if the function of art seeks the transformation of the ways of perceiving, seeing and thinking, and demands formal changes in our bond with reality.
