Borders and Territoriality - Workshops
Part of the conference Re Imagining the City from the Edges: Border Symbiosis
Monday, June 1st to June 3rd, everyday from 3 PM to 6 PM.
In person, the event will be held in French and English.
We'll be thinking in terms of capturing movement, spatial displacement, corporeal encounters with the territory and bodies themselves, the self and the other as entities with their own borders, crossing limits and gaps.
Transit, corporality: what are the limits? How do we transit the world, how do we move through places and spaces, what interacts from our own bodies, and how far?
Re Imagining the City from the Edges: Border Symbiosis is a multidisciplinary conference and exhibition that brings together different perspectives on the concepts of city and border based on artistic, cultural and social interventions and dialogues with people from a variety of cultural and social sectors. The primary objective is to re-think or re-imagine urban, artistic, cultural, border, inter- and cross-border dynamics through the collaboration of artists, activists, researchers, students, civil and collective associations.
