This series of Webinars intends to start a reflection with academic and independent researchers, artists, cultural providers, public and private funders, and policymakers about the role of media, visual and performing arts in the promotion of intercultural dialogue.
The first Webinar will focus on the one hand on the importance of culture in the process that leads from integration to inclusion and in the building of a positive narrative; on the other hand, it will concentrate on migration and the circuits of film culture.

In-between Performing Arts and Migration“. Il Convegno “vede studiosi e artisti internazionali confrontarsi sui diversi linguaggi in grado di costruire immaginari e narrative alternative sulla migrazione, alimentare la definizione di strumenti scientifici trasversali, dare corso alla creazione di spazi simbolici e fisici in cui sì manifesta il carattere dinamico e produttivo della diversità”.
Al convegno ci saranno tra gli altri interventi di Ruggero Eugeni, Laura Peja, Roberta Carpani, Giulia Innocenti Malini, Martina Guerinoni, ricercatori del progetto “Migrations-Mediations“.

A World in Transition. In-between Performing Arts and Migration
Costruire ponti tra la ricerca teorica e le arti performative, oltre le mura del teatro e dei settori disciplinari, in un movimento di andata e ritorno tra dimensione locale e transnazionale. Mettendo in dialogo chi fa ricerca sul campo e chi opera attraverso pratiche performative, la conferenza A World in Transition. In-between Performing Arts and Migrationvede studiosi e artisti internazionali confrontarsi sui diversi linguaggi in grado di costruire immaginari e narrative alternative sulla migrazione, alimentare la definizione di strumenti scientifici trasversali, dare corso alla creazione di spazi simbolici e fisici in cui sì manifesta il carattere dinamico e produttivo della diversità. Alternando interventi teorici e performativi, la conferenza si divide tra una sezione plenaria mattutina, in cui verranno presentati alcuni progetti innovativi sul tema, e sei panel tematici di approfondimento.
