Rhyzoom Presentations in Paris
The last of the RHYZOM workshops will take place in Paris, with a public part on Saturday 25th September At aaa's communal garden project Le 56 in Paris, starting 10.00.
This seminar brings together a number of practices addressing issues of local and translocal cultural production within different contexts in Europe, prompted during the collaborative project Rhyzom. All these cultural practices are intrinsically related to political, economic, social and material conditions and to specific temporalities, spatialities, individual and collective histories and experiences within their local contexts. Rhyzom tries to create transversal connections between these different framings and to engage with the dynamic and complicated nature of notions of 'local' and 'culture' in contemporary society. This way of connecting 'within and across' is a critique of the way contemporary culture is produced and distributed at global scale. Issues of conflict and contest, common and commonality, rural versus urban, Institutions versus agencies will be addressed in relation to the notions of 'local' and 'culture'.
