Poetics of the Periphery /


A dialogue on the borders of media, the edges of representation, and the peripheral realms of art – be they visual, literary, or performed.


Marginal Imagery — Quests into the borders of media and the edges of representation. How does marginalization manifest physically or figuratively? How do ambiguity and fragmentation function in creative gestures? How do artists mobilize the periphery as a space of resistance, tension, or transformation?

Neglected Narratives — Analyses attending to the politics of obscurity. What works, voices, or forms have been excluded or overlooked, and why? 

Aesthetics of the Abstruse — Explorations of the esoteric, the invisible, and that which is shrouded in mystery. How can the enigmatic reframe knowledge and perception?on?
