Global Academy II
Examples of transcultural Exchange
For some years now, the Salzburg International Summer Academy of Fine Arts has organised the Global Academy project, which deals with questions of learning and teaching art in a global context.
Questions
The 2016 conference discussed alternative academies in the global south; in 2018, various models of transcultural artistic exchange will be presented, raising the following questions: Against the background of colonialism, past and present, how can we actively promote an exchange of ideas beyond binary systems such as colonial/post-colonial, north/south, western/non-western thinking? What projects exist, and how do they work? How do creative artists, curators and institutions address transcultural themes? What methods do they use to position themselves in different regions of the world and arrive at mutual understanding?
