Organizer
CAPIm (HDK-Valand and Kungl. Konsthögskolan)
Registration is closed.

CAPIm focuses on how artists in their work and reflections explore the relationship between politics and imagination. What does such artistic exploration make possible and what is the meaning of all of this for the wider community that art makers exist in? For whom, and by whom, are questions of political imagination raised in art? How can artistic research contribute in a meaningful way to the collective discussion of possible political futures? 
 
The event will feature a welcome session, keynote speakers, discussions, presentations and a reception.
