Platform for Artistic Research Sweden - Call for Contributions: Art & Migration
Deadline: October 7, 2018
The editors welcome contributions exploring the embodied, affective, performative, material, visual, and spatial politics of cross-border human mobilities, through arts/design as well as other disciplines and practices.
Art & Migration. Re-Making the World: Human Mobility, Border Violence, and Security Markets
Among many other conceivable avenues of inquiry, we invite contributions engaged with such questions as:
- How are lived experiences and concepts of border policing and securitization and immigration and asylum controls (including detention and deportation) understood by differently positioned people as expressed in the visual arts, activism, design, theater, music, literature, or migration studies and other academic disciplines?
- What are productive ways of making visible or interrogating border violence and the intensification of state and extra-state forms of border securitization?
- How do private firms shape today’s migration policies by designing and marketing social-material conditions, techniques, and technologies that aim to control the mobility of people, knowledge, and goods?
- How are people counteracting, circumventing, subverting, or resisting the everyday production and enactment of border and immigration control technologies and practices?
- How can artists, academics, activist networks, and other civil society groups work together to challenge new forms of bordering and border violence in ways that are of societal as well as intellectual relevance?
