Politiche del sé. Arte contemporanea e costruzione dell’identità
Giovanni Rendina’s lecture addresses the theme of politics of the self as a critical space in which contemporary art questions, constructs and challenges forms of individual and collective identity. Through artistic practices, curatorial devices and institutional contexts, Rendina explores how the contemporary subject is continually redefined by cultural, social and political dynamics.
