Laboratory IN TRANSIT 06
Culture and Development | The New Cultural Centres | New Ways to Make Art
In the In Transit Lab 06 the notion of body culture will be discussed by artists and scholars from Brazil, India, Europe, Africa, the USA and the Middle East. They describe and discuss an open horizon of cultural variety, which forms resistance to the rationality of modernity up to now.
10-11h
Gilberto Gil, Sarat Maharaj, and Volker Hassemer
