The roundtable discussion might include, but will not necessarily be limited to, the following questions:
- How can discourses of knowledge – philosophical, cultural, political – help us re-define spaces of encounter in an age in which boundaries, walls and exclusions predominate, and are promulgated in the increasingly hate-driven speech of social media?
- How can the aesthetic give expression to liminality from an ecological perspective?
- How, in and through the arts, can new models of encounter alter our perception of the world we inhabit and the rigid demarcations – whether part of the coloniality of knowledge production or the hegemony of global capitalism – that have been thrust upon it?
