Millennium Art Talks, organized by EGEAC
Archives have been gaining visibility in museums, curating, art and collecting. The term "artistic research," which uses archives, shapes contemporary artistic production, transforming the relationships between knowledge and truth in the context of digital technology. On the other hand, museums revisit their collections and update historical narratives. How can it be collaborative, working with archives and collections in a time of dispute and tension between past and present?

Moderated by Marta Mestre and Ángel Calvo Ulloa

Participants: Pedro Barbosa, Pedro Felipe Hinestrosa, Titos Pelembe, Benjamin Weil

Millennium Art Talks, organized by EGEAC
Biennials are always about the "new," even when they address the past. Some biennials relate to their context, while others could exist anywhere. Could one say that subjects are abundant, but discourses are recycled? What is the role of biennials today?

Millennium Art Talks, organized by EGEAC
Technology and the pandemic have changed how contemporary art is disseminated, legitimized and recognized. The idea that art speaks for itself is being replaced by the notion of an art that speaks on the networks. Intimacy, collectivity, criticism, market, public sphere? What do these changes consist of? Moderated by Marta Mestre and Ángel Calvo Ulloa

Participants: Germano Dushá, Marta Lança, Rafa Barber

Organized by DGArtes - Rede Portuguesa de Arte Contemporânea.

Moderated by: Inês Grosso.

Participants: Sandra Vieira Jürgens, Mariana Mata Passos, Paulo Mendes.

Millennium Art Talks, organized by EGEAC
Starting from an ironic parallel with Buñuel's film, we extrapolate to contexts where the peripheral and its historical problems lead to a "loop" to which we always return. What are we talking about when we talk about the periphery? Are there peripheries more peripheral than others?
Moderated by Marta Mestre and Ángel Calvo Ulloa

Participants: Nuria Enguita, Paula Nascimento, Luiz Camillo Osorio, Sérgio Fazenda Rodrigues

This talk will address the dynamics of internationalization of African contemporary art, taking into account the impact of globalization, diasporas and other circulations in the African continent and beyond, as well as the representativity of African and Afrodiasporic artists, curators and institutions in the international circuits of contemporary art. How to truly decolonize narratives and structures? How to repair historical and systemic imbalances and fractures?

Moderated by Ana Balona de Oliveira

Participants: Alicia Knock, Liz Gomis, Paula Nascimento, Serubiri Moses
