[ This page in English ]
Konferencen VIEWS FROM THE MIDDLE EAST præsenterer et kalejdoskop af mellemøstlige identiteter i performances og oplæg. Det sker den 11. august kl 9.00-16:30 på Nationalmuseet.
VIEWS FROM THE MIDDLE EAST byder på mellemøstlig musik, dans, litteratur, fotografi mm.
I kunsten bliver der leget med identitet. I det kunstneriske udtryk kan man fange det nye, der er på vej, og afprøve nye identiteter. Eller undersøge de identiteter, som provokerer. Man kan også udpege de rammer, som føles begrænsende for at udfolde identitet. Eller det fællesskab, man føler ved at skabe kollektive identiteter. Gennem kunstnernes fortolkninger af identitet kan man få indsigt i brydninger, håb, konflikter, drømme og kampe i samfundslivet i Mellemøsten.
VIEWS FROM THE MIDDLE EAST tematiserer identitet, køn, rum og generationer. Oplæg og performances veksler med diskussion med publikum.
