In the initial research phase of the project FORMER WEST, a number of Research Seminars are realized throughout the network of the project’s institutional partners, in order to explore in depth some of the key issues that could help identify the shift from the “West” to “former West” in the field of art. The Seminars form an active, practice-based research trajectory, through which the foundations of the thesis put forward by the project are debated between the project curators, artists, researchers, and specialized public in various geographic, political, and cultural contexts.
