*** PUBLIC EVENT
Location: DAMSLab – Piazzetta P. P. Pasolini, 5/b, 40122 Bologna

9.30 – 10.00 Welcome to DAMSLab
Welcome speech by: Roberta Paltrinieri – Alma Mater Studiorum Università di Bologna (Italy); Giuliana Ciancio – Liv.in.g.; Giulio Stumpo – Liv.in.g.

10.00 – 10.40 Keynote: “Reality: I am lovin’ it! Choosing the reality when it is at its worst”
Every day, a new gadget or an app is invented for us to take shelter in virtual reality. Post-truth world warmly welcomes those too tired to manage the complexity of today’s reality. The numbness we are asked to develop in the face of the world’s perils feels as warm as sleeping in the snow. There is nothing in reality that can inspire hope or determination to carry on living a humane life. Ece Temelkuran argues the ethical remedy lies in getting closer to reality rather than the desperate flee from it. She will talk about ‘the joy of dignity’ and that we can experience this unmatched joy by jumping into the real world.
Speaker: Ece Temelkuran (Turkey)
#reality #hope #future

10.40 – 11.20 Keynote: “Borders of Imagination”
When borders are erected they take on lives of their own. Borders change the social terrains and have deep impact on the social imaginaries and social relations even after they fall. The symbolic meaning of borders is greater than their physical presence. Borders produce new subjectivities, that deprive us the capacity to imagine a different form of organizing humanity and the earth, a world without borders. This talk is about the urgency of speculating the impossible.
Speaker: Shahram Khosravi – University of Stockholm (Sweden)

Online mentoring sessions

This Life on Mars’s edition includes a mentoring support with On the Move. After Bologna, there will be two collective online sessions of one hour each on subjects participants find the most relevant for the internationalisation of their practices. Will be also organised, based on the needs of the participants, individual sessions (one individual online session of 30-40 minutes per participant). Subjects can be around very practical questions (funding for cross-border collaborations, administrative issues related to mobility, communication in English etc.) or more reflexion-based around mobility practices. The individual and collective sessions will be organised from November 2022 till the end of January 2023.
Curated by: On the Move

Final online event

An online session (around 2,5 h) to be held in January 2023, with all the participants will evaluate the entire process. It also aims to check if real opportunities of cooperation have arisen and which have been the main issues and strengths of the collective work.
