Since 2018 Marta Pellerini, Visual Art Residency and Programme Curator has been organised different series of talks, taking place in the BSR Lecture Theatre. Selected artists, curators and art critics were asked to talk about their research in relation to some fundamental topics: gender, justice, decoloniality or materiality.
Talk Justice
To talk about justice would be to open up a vast philosophical discussion, to which this series can only gesture. The practices of the selected artists bring up questions connected to social or political justice in the world today. If you google justice, the first page of results is about lifestyle and taste: ‘justice’ is both an expensive trendy clothing brand and an electronic music duo. In terms of an internet search, which is how most things are judged today, the idea of justice appears to have been coopted by riot chic, perhaps because it is increasingly a rarefied ideal, a concept that is hard to grasp in a world where social, political and environmental injustice reigns.
