About Institution(ing)s: planetary plotting (with) art institutions by Cindy Sissokho

Event Slider

This talk will address the urgency to make space for a plurality of voices, experiences and languages within institutional practices and spaces.

What is the diversity of languages that a public institution, whether internal or external, should employ to reflect today’s political climate and in thinking of a sustainable tomorrow?

Drawing from curatorial research and experiences, Cindy Sissokho will move away from the overemployed and commodified words that create the understanding of the “political museum” today but instead attempt to provide questions, answers, and practical experimentations of shifting while working with institutions.

It aims to ignite collective conversations and share common practices as everyone’s civic responsibility in the socio-political landscapes of the arts and culture sector today. 

The event is part of the programme ‘Institution(ing)s: planetary plotting (with) art institutions’. This is the first public moment of ‘Institution(ing)s’, a consortium of European arts organisations coming together to co-create and test innovative institutional models towards a healthier and fairer artistic ecosystem.

This event will be presented in English with simultaneous translation and interpretation in Portuguese Sign Language.

The ‘Institution(ing)s’ is co-funded by the European Union. Views and opinions expressed are however those of the author(s) only and do not necessarily reflect those of the European Union or Creative Europe. Neither the European Union nor the granting authority can be held responsible for them.
