AWARE x WOPHA x PAMM: On the Edge of Visibility

Explore the intersections of art, culture, and identity through a transcontinental lens, engaging with the leading voices in the field through postcolonial, feminist, and queer perspectives. Bringing together artists, researchers, curators, and thinkers, the symposium is structured around three thematic sections: Fractals of Invisibility, Politics of Visibility and Poetics of Opacity. 

Participants from France are made possible in part with the support of Villa Albertine ; these include Nina Volz, Head of International Development, and moderator Louise Thurin, both from Paris-based AWARE (Archives of Women Artists Research & Exhibitions), and Franco-Gabonese performing artist Myriam Mihindou. Also in participation, Miami-based French Caribbean multimedia artist Marielle Plaisir who is part of a conversation entitled The Politics of Visibility.
