Violence and Culture

Our new project seeks to clarify a topic that is difficult to define. This workshop will investigate the forms of violence. What is more, each educator will explore the effects of violence on the formation of culture, an ambiguous concept in itself. Strangely, violence can influence culture in conflicting ways: the acts of violence are responsible for great pain — and for great insights. An understanding of this dynamic is an ultimate goal of this workshop.

The line-up:

Soreti Kadir: activism and violence

Dr Ali Alizadeh: artistic violence

Dr Meagan Tyler: sexual violence 

Dr Nico Taylor: environmental violence
