DESCRIPTION:Conference: \nWORLDVIEWS: Latin American Art and the Decolonia
 l Turn\n\nJoin us for this live session of the conference which brings tog
 ether contributions from scholars\, curators and artists to discuss how de
 coloniality acts as a frame of reference in the study of Latin American Ar
 t. \n\nSession Abstract: Activism and Collective Practice \nPolitical acti
 vism in Latin American Art has been canonised as a distinctive feature of 
 the region’s artistic production since the 1960s. However\, recent think
 ers have criticised the divorce of intellectualised institutional practice
 s from the insurgent social forces that motivate and propel such forms of 
 resistance. This panel will examine how grassroots movements have deployed
  artistic practice as a form of activism. Women’s rights collectives and
  activist groups have succeeded in raising awareness of social struggles a
 nd have carved spaces of representation for groups that are marginalised o
 r cast as subaltern.\n\nChair: Keyna Eleison (MAM-Rio) \nKeynote: Ventura 
 Profana (artist) \nSpeakers: Anneli Marisa Aliaga (Univesrity of Cambridge
 ) Liliana Clavijo (Universidad del Valle)\, Felipe Hernandez (CLAS\, Unive
 rsity of Cambridge)\, Tabita Rezaire (artist)\, Kira Xonorika (University
