On the Move: Alternative Forms of Journeys through an Artistic Lens
In an historical period like this in which it is difficult or almost impossible to travel, we invite you on a journey different from the ordinary.
NYU DC Dialogues and the John Brademas Center in partnership with the University of Palermo, Department of Law, and with the support of the Italian Cultural Society of Washington DC will present On the Move: Alternative Forms of Journeys through an Artistic Lens.The event will explore the meaning of the word journey for the several people for whom the journey is the only way to protect their lives or to ensure a better future for their family. This event will present different forms of art that contribute to answering these questions, and was curated by Renato Miracco (art critic) and Mauro Testaverde (economist).
The voices of art, economics, academia and activism will come together on December 3rd, 2020 to talk about the power of diversity and the role of the “journey” for several people who have directly or indirectly experienced it.
