Panel 2: "Close Others" in "The West"

Discussion with the particpation of Klara Kemp-Welch, Beata Hock, Jacopo Galimberti, Jaime Vindel and Andrea Díaz Mattei within the Global Art Challenges conference on April 28th, 2016 at the Aula Magna of the Faculty of Geography and History of the UB. This session addresses the need to continue decentering cultural and aesthetic paradigms regarding the Cold War era. Despite significant academic projects such as Former-West, the idea of ‘the West’ is still usually taken as shorthand for Western Europe and North America.
