EM\u03a3\u03a4 is pleased to announce the symposium \u2018Rethinking Social Citizenship in Greece\u2019, which revisits issues and ideas that have been central to its curatorial and educational programmes, most specificially in the recent group exhibitions Statecraft<\/em> (2022) and Modern Love<\/em> (<\/em>or Love in the Age of Cold Intimacies)<\/em> (2023). Looking into questions such as memory and identity, the city, public space and civil rights, intersectionality, recognition, representation and political participation, this one-day discursive event aims to reflect on what it means to be \u201ccitizens together\u201d.<\/p>\n

The issue of\u00a0citizenship is often debated in the Modern Greek public sphere in the narrow context of naturalization and state recognition (what in Greek law is referred to as “\u03b9\u03b8\u03b1\u03b3\u03ad\u03bd\u03b5\u03b9\u03b1”). Rarely is it approached in its wider, inclusive and more recent connotations of\u00a0social\u00a0citizenship<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Starting from the recent Greek experience, the colloquium will focus on three keywords: place\/city, community, and memory. The symposium aims to spark diverse conversations and exchanges and think about their intersections: from grass root community movements fighting for social inclusion to the debate on national borders and the treatment of migrants and refugees; from thinking what it means to be a citizen in today’s big data society to demanding equal access to public health; from the calls to decolonize national history and the institutions that serve master narratives to the activist antiracist and to the emancipatory identity movements in relation to gender\/sexuality; and from the new ways to talk about social cohesion and mutual understanding to novel approaches to representations of personal and public memory, archives of belonging and sites of national and ethnic history.<\/p>\n

Such a conversation will also foster new ideas regarding state in relation to new, emerging, often double, hybrid and fluid identities, and their equal place within the Greek polity and the narrative of Greekness; raise awareness on the demands of people with disabilities and the patients\u2019 movements; and discuss the wide mobilization for the rights of refugees and the resistance to xenophobic anti-immigration rhetoric.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
