Roundtable #1:THE SPLIT OF THE SELF
Can institutional critique in Art constitute a micro-political anthropology? Micro-political anthropology is a speculative term for considering one’s relationship to oneself and the relationship between individual and society. The series of 4 practice led roundtable seminars at FAA set out to explore these relationships. Firstly, by examining the sensory and intellectual system of the body as the space of institutional critique. Secondly, by critically questioning the institutional structures in society constitutive of citizenship and the gender, race, and class divide.
The series of 4 practice led roundtable seminars will bring together practitioners and thinkers from the fields of art, activism, media, law, political theory and philosophy whose work will provide a flexible foundation for dealing with these ideas.
