SPEAKERS: Maria Thereza Alves, David A. Bailey, Weyman Bennett, Ursula Biemann, Paul Domela, Raimi Gbadamosi, Melanie Jackson, Kate Rich, Florian Schneider, Tom Trevor, Claudia Zanfi

 

The day of discussion brings together exhibiting artists and cultural theorists, historians and curators to respond to the central issues of the project. The symposium examines three strands of discussion: the changing global economic conditions of trade and their effects upon port cities; the cultural geographies of globalisation and the new conditions of mobility worldwide; and, the lasting effects of the trans-Atlantic slave trade, as reproduced in contemporary culture, as well as the reality of slavery today.
