Local Cosmologies: Comparative Ethnofuturists

Publication at Faculty of Arts |
2021

Abstract

The aim of the event is a comparative analysis of contemporary speculations about the future in Central and Eastern Europe in an artistic-theoretical context. The focus is on contemporary futurisms, i.e. research into collective art movements (ossifuturism, hungarouturism), which subject the study of alternative futures and pasts to a political-aesthetic critique.

The social relevance of artistic experimentation with time and history comes to the fore, as the ability to think about alternatives and differences is one of the cultural media for the production of social imagination.
