Exhibition and conference "Seeing and showing war today

A scientific and artistic event organized by the Faculty of Education, University of Montpellier, in collaboration with the FRAC, the LAC, the Samira Gambie gallery, and with the support of the Occitanie Region and the DRAC Occitanie.

About the theme

In the ^21stcentury, war is here and there, everywhere and all the time. Images are an inescapable vector. This academic event is devoted to questions of representation and reception of works and images depicting war. It will explore the relationships and tensions that images and people have with war. Questions of subject, creation, production, distribution and education will be addressed.

On the one hand, as part of a symposium, we have chosen to examine contemporary images of war(s), in the broadest sense of the term, as part of a multi-disciplinary and interdisciplinary process of reflection that is at once theoretical, artistic and didactic, in conjunction with image education and artistic and cultural education. This scientific event explores the relationships and tensions that images and people have with war. The questions of subject, creation, production, distribution and education must be addressed.

On the other hand, a collective exhibition of works and images is an important part of this reflection on representations of war. Indeed, the works are forms of thought in action and images. The exhibition is thus conceived as a place for reflection and discovery, confrontation and dialogue.

The theme is addressed in a variety of ways: university lectures, talks by artists and journalists, practical art workshops and exhibitions by photojournalists, artists, philosophers, academics, curators and doctoral students.
