Displacement and Refuge in Times of War

From World War II to the war in Syria and Russia’s war against Ukraine, the panelists will share overlapping perspectives on recurring experiences of displacement and how refuge has changed over time. The present world structure keeps complaining about refugees, but it is the real generator of this global problem through deepening inequalities on levels of income, human rights, and life opportunities. Particular attention will be paid to how displacement has shaped the art scene, its non-institutional spaces as well as artist-run galleries, and transformed local communities.
