Transnationalisms/Mobilities and borders reading and research group.

As artists and cultural practitioners how should we be addressing our own mobilities post Covid?

‘Transnationalism, mobility and borders’ research group, a collaboration between aTE, the Centre for mobilities Research and LICA (Lancaster Institute of Contemporary Art). This group involves reading groups, talks and publications and is an emerging community of research students, academics and aTE members. Covering topics such as mobility and immobility, tourism, climate change, walking practice, borders and populism, migration, property, land and ownership and colonial legacies. The group calls into question ideas of mobility in light of the recent pandemic and asks how cultural practitioners can traverse ‘place’ in new and radical ways.

The Group runs on Wed nights monthly (Uk time) 7-8pm. From June 2022.
