Conference: Propaganda Art Today

This international conference brings together artists, activists, theorists, filmmakers, and political representatives to map the multitude of propagandas that shape our world today. From the culture wars of the alt-right to the new popular imaginations that have emerged from recent pan-European movements and stateless insurgencies: Propaganda Art Today introduces the public to the various competing types of propaganda art in the 21st century.

With: Maria Hlavajova (director BAK, basis voor actuele kunst, Utrecht), Srećko Horvat (philosopher, co-founder DiEM25), Chris Keulemans (writer and journalist), Szabolcs KissPál (artist), Charl Landvreugd (artist), Julie de Lima (National Democratic Front of the Philippines), Sven Lütticken (art historian), Angela Nagle (author Kill All Normies), Mitchell Esajas and Jessica de Abreu (co-founders New Urban Collective), Theo Prodromidis (artist), Laura Raicovich (writer and art worker), and Vincent W.J. van Gerven Oei (philologist and publisher).

The conference Propaganda Art Today has been programmed by artist Jonas Staal in dialogue with curator Marina Otero Verzier in the context of the exhibition project Steve Bannon: A Propaganda Retrospective, on view in Het Nieuwe Instituut until 23 September 2018. During the conference, the exhibition will be open free of charge to attendants between 10:00 and 17:00.
