The 28th State: European Borders in an Age of Anxiety
Tate Britain
Saturday 24th October 2009
‘The 28th State,’ seeks to explore how cultural practitioners in Europe are engaging with the idea of borders – both literally and metaphorically. What is the role of art in framing visions of contemporary / future Europe? How are practitioners engaging with the idea of borders when much of contemporary practice is peripatetic? What do terms like ‘cross-cultural’ or ‘trans-national’ mean now? How do Diasporic experiences affect the Europe we are creating?
‘The 28th State ‘ is a practice –based symposium, placing artistic practice at the heart of the discussion, featuring speakers from across the EU.
Tickets £25/£15
