Colloquium on Cosmopolitanism in the arts 

  
Wednesday 24 June 2020, 11am – [removed]
Online via Zoom Webinar

On Wednesday June 24, from 11am to [removed], Dr. Ginna Brock will present her paper Cosmopolitanism Beyond the Polis during our second online colloquium. She advocates a reformulation of the cosmopolitan ideal in the arts by renegotiating the notion of belonging. We will then have a critical discussion with Brock about the relevance of her position to the practice of artistic internationalisation with stakeholders from humanities, the cultural field and cultural policy.
 
Is Brock’s understanding of cosmopolitanism able to renew the cosmopolitan ideal, purifying it from its tendencies to rootlessness? And what are its practical implications for concrete artistic practices? Is such a renewed concept able to express the challenges of our present globalised world?

Please read the full exploration about cosmopolitanism on our website.
 
We hereby invite you to attend the online colloquium. You can register for the colloquium on June 24 via this link.

DutchCulture’s colloquia
In 2020, DutchCulture organises a series of colloquia to explore the future of international cultural cooperation. What does cultural internationalisation mean in 2020? Are the traditional concepts and categories still sufficient to explain the ambitions of artists and cultural institutions on the one hand, and to address the challenges of the globalised world on the other? In order to consider the nature, conditions and consequences of cultural exchange, DutchCulture explores innovative research in the field of cultural internationalisation in a series of colloquia together with stakeholders from humanities, the cultural field and cultural policy. In this way, DutchCulture wants to use its expertise and network to contribute to knowledge development around supra-sectoral issues. The first colloquium was about translocality in the arts with prof. dr. Maarten Doorman, his keynote speech can be read on our website. The reflection on the first colloquium can be found here.

We hope to see you in the online audience on June 24th!

Best regards,
