Global Cities & Socially Engaged Arts Webinar

This webinar brings together scholars and curators whose research examines how artistic practices in Latin America intersect with questions of gender, urban space, politics and memory. Focusing on the city as both a site of artistic production and a space of negotiation, the conversation will explore how artists have challenged dominant narratives, made marginalized histories visible, and engaged critically with the political and cultural realities of their communities.

The discussion will address questions such as: How have artists used urban space to challenge social and cultural hierarchies? How can feminist and queer approaches reshape our understanding of artistic and urban histories? And how might socially engaged art contribute to new ways of imagining and inhabiting the Latin American city?

By bringing together perspectives from Argentina, Cuba and Mexico, the webinar aims to foster a transnational conversation about the intersections of art, urban life, gender and politics in Latin America.
