Call for papers

20. Art and Activism in Latin America session at UAAC-AAUC

Universities Art Association of Canada

Online Conference – 2020 – Congrès

October 15- 17 octobre, 2020

The theme of this session is art and activism in Latin America. Art and activism are two distinct academic disciplines, but ones which can dialogue and merge into action, which ranges from cultural production to a mutual understanding of contemporary political and social changes. We will therefore look at Latin America contemporary artists whose work blends art and activism. Artists in different contexts and Latin America countries have increasingly positioned themselves in situations of political and social change, from climate change to human rights. The current political crises, the coronavirus crises and the consequences to the global economy, as well as the social struggles that lead to large influxes of Latin America migrants into the United States, have already inspired many. Further examples to be deepened in this research are the works that focus on refugees fleeing political persecution, Latin America protest art, social injustices, resistance, art and politics.

We invite 300-word abstracts of the proposed papers to be sent along with a short academic CV to  Tatiane de Oliveira Elias e-mail: tatianeeliasufsm@gmail.com before 1st august 2020.
