  AFIELD mentorship program (2019)

  For the first time AFIELD launches an open call to support 3 individuals engaged in social and artistic experimentation. They will be granted seed funding to develop their initiatives and advice from a mentor chosen with them within the AFIELD network, for a period of 18 months. Initiated in 2014 by Council and supported by Tsadik Foundation, AFIELD is a network, a fellowship and an advocacy program for social initiatives from arts and culture. Each year the program supports artists, researchers or activists committed to a long-term social initiative by identifying 2 fellows and 3 mentees.

  Globalisation and Minor Cultural Groups

  The role of so-called minority people in rethinking the future of modern societies

  Minority groups, whose way of life has historically suffered from globalization, are often cited as victims of global processes, but they are rarely studied for the techniques or technologies of accommodation and resistance they have implemented as a response to global processes— the most devastating of these processes being colonization in its various aspects. Indeed, globalist literature does not yet offer a conceptualization or theorizing of the social, cultural, political and territorial continuity of “minorized” cultures, let alone does it afford enough analytical space to these so-called cultural minorities in the process of questioning the values and practices of globalization. Therefore, this conference will participate in building more connections between different experiences  in order to think up the best alternatives to the global economic and political system in place and to the way of life brought about by global phenomena which do not work anymore.

  Looking for Popular Publics : Being People

  L'objectif de ce colloque est de croiser les regards scientifiques sur les publics populaires, tour a tour célébrés (pendant le « printemps arabe », par exemple), redoutés (à propos de la montée des populismes dans l'Europe contemporaine, entre autres), ou niés (la consommation et le vote étant selon certains de moins en moins tributaires de l'appartenance sociale). Qu’il s’agisse d’électeurs ou d’usagers de dispositifs médiatiques, artistiques, institutionnels ou techniques, les publics populaires sont au cœur des débats sur les évolutions contemporaines de nos sociétés.

  What instruments for amateurs in the context of "fablabs"?

  Cette conférence coordonnée par l’Institut de recherche et d’innovation du Centre Pompidou s'inscrit dans le cadre du projet FabLab2 (http://fablabsquared.org/). Elle portera sur la figure de l’amateur dans les Fablabs et s’interrogera sur la manière dont on peut l’accompagner (conceptuellement, institutionnellement, technologiquement), ainsi que sur la portée sociétale de ce mouvement de réappropriation des technologies.
