SocialEast is a forum on the Art and Visual Culture of Eastern Europe. On 26st oo April, at Jagellonian University of Krakov, SocialEast presents a symposium on the legacy of 1968 for contemporary art in Eastern Europe and beyond.
This seminar will examine the multiple legacies of 1968 for contemporary art in terms of new artistic practices involving dematerialisation, performance and the use of new media; social and institutional critique; as well as the impact of political upheavals on art. It will also consider the contemporary implications of the social movements and artistic radicalism of 1968 against the backdrop of the organised commemoration of the 40th anniversary, as well as the specificities of the experience of 1968 in the countries of Eastern Europe .
