Conceived as an online platform for plurivocal and multiperspectival dialogue, Planetary Patchwork hosts meetings / discussions / presentations / screenings / readings which seek to highlight patches of planetary entanglements (Tsing and Mbembe) and experiment with meeting digitally. The seminar aims at exploring the meanings and politics of the planetary in artistic practices, critical heritage studies and epistemologies. Using the metaphor of the patchwork to build / stitch networks between seemingly distant case studies and stories from around the globe, Planetary Patchwork seeks to blur and overcome academic, national and continental boundaries and divides between the arts and academia.
