Conference
As seen during the various lockdowns caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, the «movement» proved to be at the heart of fierce disputes around the concept of freedom. We will see how the specific modes of this dispute are manifested in the current moment and help us to rethink the foundations of what we still insist on calling «time». André Lepecki will pay attention to recent performances by mayfield brooks and Sara Cameron Sunde.
