Here is a list of the upcoming events at the Rooseum, for more information, please us.
- IN NEED OF THE OTHER IDENTITY
Contemporary Art of the Middle East.
A symposium in Malmö/Copenhagen, September 22-24, 2000. This three-day symposium on, Identity and Representation, is organized by the SHIFT Project at K3, the College of Art & Communication (Malmö University) and Nikolaj-Copenhagen Contemporary Art Center, as part of the Ecbátana-exhibition at Nikolaj (August 19 - October 1, 2000).
The symposium will examine how issues of roots and background generate tension between groups and individuals, and the clash of historical identities with the norms of a new context. The symposium will also discuss the politically motivated need to maintain an "Oriental" backdrop in art, and how great cultures, suddenly in the minority, defend themselves against, or are diluted into, Western mass-culture societies.
The conference is co-located in Malmö at the College of Art and Communication, K3 (Day 1) and the Rooseum-Center for Contemporary Art (Day 2), and in Copenhagen at Nikolaj (Day 3).
The symposium is open to the public and free of charge.
