(IM)POSSIBLE COMPLICITIES - CALL FOR PAPER

You are welcome to send your research abstract to the conference  (Im)possible Complicities: co-production, co-creation, cooptation organised by Tesserae next 23-24 May 2019 in Berlin.

We welcome papers and artworks which address questions regarding:

•    The meaning of co-creation, co-production, co-optation
•    Co-creation and community engagement for what and for whom
•    The role of art in addressing political agency at different scales
•    The issues of ownership/authorship in co-creation processes
•    Time and engagement, the limits and advantages of short-terms vs long-terms

(Im)possible Complicities conference looks for ideas that come from practice and concrete engagement in distressed territorial contexts. We want to discuss the potential and pitfalls of co-creative projects with activists, artists and academics who share a constructive as much as critical view on the topic.
