The Harriman Institute, New York
Culture and Politics in the 1980s and Beyond. Convention
Culture and Politics in the 1980s and Beyond. The sneak peek of a large NY festival commemorating events in 1989 brings together intellectuals and artists to discuss the role of the performing arts in post-1989 Eastern Europe. What have been the driving forces illuminating and directing intellectual and cultural dynamics? How have communist-era legacies shaped intellectual and cultural practices? What role have artistic communities played in shaping society and politics? With Jeffrey Goldfarb (The New School for Social Research), Elzbieta Matynia (The New School for Social Research), Robert Misik (journalist and writer). Moderated by Bradley Abrams (President of the Czechoslovak Studies Association).
