IMMA is delighted to announce its Summer School 2020, taking place online from 3 to 28 August 2020. It comprises a month-long programme of seminars, discussions and workshops by a range of national and international artists, theorists and educators focusing on the theme of ‘statecraft’ and the role of art and artists in relation to the state.

Some of the ideas that will be explored over the course of the summer school include the role of the state in surveillance, welfare, propaganda, epidemiology, monumental and memorial languages, and the abjection of its’ other’, the stateless, the non-citizen, the dead. In the middle of the Covid-19 pandemic and the Black Lives Matter protests we are seeing many of these processes writ large.

Public Programme 6-22 August

Following an open call, a core group of participants will take part in an intensive programme of workshops, reading groups, discussions and presentations. Parts of the Summer School programme – the seminars, keynote address and panel discussion – are open to the public (see below for details).

All elements of the summer school are taking place online via zoom.
