AFIELD Forum: Systems Change By Artists

Universal Embassy is part of the AFIELD Forum ‘Systems Change By Artists’ at various locations in Brussels
27/09/2024, 11:45-13:15h

For its 10-year anniversary, the AFIELD network is launching a new public forum on systems change led by artists. The ongoing multiscalar crisis urges the arts and cultural field to take more concrete actions towards social and environmental justice. Aligning with its mission, AFIELD is embarking on a 3-year cycle of international gatherings bringing new perspectives on the role of art in society.

Universal Embassy is taking part in ‘conversation on Livable City #1: Urban Commons With Ambassade Universelle and El Warcha’, moderated by Giuseppe Micciarelli. An abandoned embassy occupied by undocumented migrants in Brussels, a collaborative design studio in Tunis, a self-organized cultural center in Napoli: through the exploration of three initiatives offering different perspectives on the Commons, this conversation will explore how to reimagine the city and resist exclusionary urban development.
