VOICE MESSAGES

ABOUT VOICE MESSAGES

Instead of the usual online lectures, the speakers of the symposium* were suggested the format of a voice message, like an informal address to the audience. The voice messages provide an opportunity to learn about the intellectual landscape of four international contemporary cultural workers and researchers. You can discuss these messages with speakers and other listeners in the meeting point section.

Pablo Helguera

On audiences, symbolic and actual practices

In his book Education for socially-engaged art (2011), Pablo Helguera writes about the practice of socially engaged art from the perspective of educational mechanisms, emphasising the nuances of social situations, ethical aspects of engagement and the role of the public in this process. The point of view of educators on artistic participatory projects can reveal problematics on which curators, critics and artists rarely reflect. Continuing these thoughts in his voice message, Helguera, a practicing artist and educator, talks about the gap between symbolic and actual practices and the knowledge that participants bring to projects. Examples include projects that address historical racism and colonialism, activist broadcasting and telenovellas.
