TRANSLOCAL EXPRESS. JUBILEE EDITIONDate: Feb 21–23, 2008Venue: Museum of Occupations, Tallinn (Estonia)
A seminar addressing the growing tendencies of nationalism on Easternborders of Europe (from Helsinki to Istanbul) and its reflections incontemporary art.Translocal Express. Jubilee Edition is a counter-birthday celebrationtaking place parallel with the celebrations of the 90th anniversary ofRepublic of Estonia. Keeping in mind that the year 1918 was a landmarkof establishing nation-states in many countries that are now locatedon the Eastern borders of Europe, the seminar aims to examine thereactions from the field of contemporary art towards currentnationalist discourses in the re-established nation-states of formerEastern Europe and neighbouring countries.Whereas in the former socialist block national resistance to thesocialist system is remembered in a positive way, the currentre-emergence of nationalist sentiments in Europe more generally is analarming tendency which is often accompanied by growing phenomena ofxenophobia and racism. The critique of nationalism becomes especiallyurgent in the light of the growing reality of migration which is nowunder debate extensively. Since the production of culture is oftenexpected to support the ideas and values connected to the idea ofnation, a critical response from the cultural field is an urgency ofour time.
