Symposium Porous Borders

Original language description

The PQ 50th anniversary celebrations culminated with an international autumn symposium of curators and scenographers, held from 12 to 14 October 2017 in Prague. The symposium, which was suitably called Porous Borders, took place inside the former Federal Assembly, which during the communist era erected figurative political hurdles, barriers within the oppressed Czechoslovak society. After the Velvet Revolution, this space – which to this day is a symbol of communist oppression – became a temple of freedom soon after it became the new home of Radio Free Europe. The Prague Quadrennial invited curators, theatre professionals, scenographers, teachers, and theorists from around the world to join us at our autumn symposium to share their thoughts and opinions on national values and identities. Another topic of discussion was the evolution of curatorial trends at today's biennials, triennials, and quadrennials, including how they differ and what they have in common. What does the preparation of national exhibitions within the context of international exhibitions involve today, and what does the term “national exhibition" even mean in today's day and age? These were the questions that we discussed during the symposium's presentations and discussions. During the event 30 speakers from all over the world had presented their lectures, a selection of them is available online at http://www.pq.cz/en/about-symposium
