Exiles and Émigrés explores the ways art and art practices relate to issues of homeland, exile, diasporic identity, the ‘post-colonial’, the ‘decolonial’, critical thinking about performance, exhibiting, and museum displays. We are proud to be inviting speakers to talk about issues ranging from decolonising French museums to the curating of Sàmi art in the context of the Scandinavian pavilion at the Venice Biennale 2022, performance and protest inside and outside of Iran to what it is like to be an Israeli artist based in London’s East End for many decades.
