Nation, race and sport - what is their relationship, how do they intertwine, how do they interact? This talk seeks to problematise the way in which the socio-political construct ‘race’ is reinforced by the idea of nation and structures an otherness in football and other elite sports. We talk about an otherness constructed under the categories ‘Moorish’ and/or ‘Muslim’.

CITISSIMUM ALTISSIMUM FORTISSIMUM

CITISSIMUM ALTISSIMUM FORTISSIMUM is an exhibition about a contemporary phenomenon that, despite radically affecting our lives, remains underrepresented in the art world: sport as a symptom of contemporary society.
 

(creating) Situations 8: Eugenics at stake

The program “Eugenics at stake: sports, arts and critical thinking”, which accompanies the exhibition series CITISSIMUM ALTISSIMUM FORTISSIMUM will generate a series of contexts and learning situations on curatorial practice from two intersecting lines of approach.
