Narrative spaces, Contemporary art and the shaping of Identity. A lecture, Parallel event of Bucharest Bienniale 4. Contemporary art with its multimodal and dynamic features offers a narrative space which works well as a starting point for practices which are experimental and art pedagogical. By understanding the exhibition as a meeting place for learning, a social arena for meaning making through active participation and collaboration, great opportunities open up when working with youth. Through its diversity contemporary art has a unique possibility to contribute to open-ended reflections and discussions on themes, subjects and narratives which in their turn contribute to the shaping of identity. This lecture focuses on how contemporary art can work as a tool for the shaping of identities - the construction of I-TOPIA. Goran Bjornberg is head of learning at Swedish Travelling Exhibitions and leader of the unit working with tour production and learning. He is also on the board of FUISM (The Swedish Association of Museum Teachers) and UKM (Young Culture Meet), a national network of regions with the objective to develop cultural meeting places and methods in order to involve youth in every-day life.
