The symposium takes the anniversary as an opportunity to reconsider art mediation in the context of social, institutional and technological transformation. Museums are developing into spaces of negotiation, participation and knowledge production. The symposium brings together international perspectives from theory, research, practice and artistic practice to discuss future-oriented models of mediation.

Participation is free of charge.
