Programme for 2004


Each of the specialised tutorials is thematically focused, yet discussion-oriented and linked conceptually to the other tutorials. In all, the phenomenon of national and cultural interaction will be a major point of discussion.

An exploration of the role of the artist in an increasingly globalised society permeates the overall theme, which will be addressed by writers and critics from the United Kingdom, the USA, Greece, Peru, Hungary, Ireland, France, and India.

The Asian Art Museum, Corfu


THE SYMPOSIUM:

The main theme – Globalisation and Nationalism – will be addressed in an international symposium (13-14 June) to which we have invited distinguished leaders in politics, economics, the arts and environmental studies. This symposium will examine topics such as:

  • the opportunities and dangers of nationalism
  • the opportunities and dangers of the global society
  • protection of fragile identities
  • social cohesion and cultural cohesion
  • multiculturalism, discrimination, equality and diversity
