About the Project
In order to maintain the regularity of the annual project program 'Art in a Global Perspective', from CIEBA - Artistic Studies Research Centre, Faculdade de Belas-Artes da Universidade de Lisboa, it is proposed to publish a monographic volume about the artistic dynamics in the context of war. Taking into account the goals of the program, the theme is intended to be treated with different historical and geographical perspectives around the globe. It is also intended that the monographic volume, focusing on arts, translates a reflection on the question not only in the context of the aesthetics but also in the context of the politics and sociology. It is encouraged the participation of researchers from different areas and texts on different artistic media.

Migration Processes and artistic practices in wartime: From the twentieth century to the present

Since the beginning of the twentieth century until the present the world was marked by numerous and different migration processes. Although the armed conflicts and wars that took place during this period are not the only cause of migration, it is a fact that those events have motivated large and complex migration processes. The World Wars I and II are historically the most prominent wars but before, during and after those conflicts different people around the world have been exposed to war. Nowadays, there are wars taking place practically all over the world that are the source of large migratory movements.

It is proposed to consider this issue in the context of the arts. Among those who migrate are artists from different areas, as the visual, the literary, performing or musical. Artists who have their experiences and communicate them through art. Among the countries that receive those migrants, are also artists. Artists who receive those experiences and symbolize them.

In these migration processes, the neoliberal condition that dominates the world it is highlighted, such as the unfair or xenophobic immigration policies. But from those migration processes result also new dynamics and sharings that, at the level of culture and art, are not reduced to the relationship between two spaces and that can trigger proposals and new artistic practices that articulate the local and the global, that mix popular and cultural distinct traces and transform them into new artistic poetics.

The proposed topics for interdisciplinary discussions are:

- The direct experience of war depicted by the artists in their work
- Activists artistic practices around the migration processes
- Migration and Cultural Transfer
- Aesthetic manifestations about contexts and themes of war
- Migration and Art: Case Studies
