IESA arts&culture continues its partnership with the École nationale des chartes and is offering a seminar for 2017 dedicated to Travel and Intercultural Dialogue.
Travel to Africa, Asia and Latin America with artists, archivist-paleographers, curators, exhibition curators, historians and heads of travel agencies.
IESA arts&culture is continuing its partnership with the École nationale des chartes devoted to international cultural exchanges. After working on the cultural links between Europe and China through the Jesuit missions, the 2017 seminar will be titled "Travels and Intercultural Dialogue."
Through specific examples, eras, and places, it will study the dialogues established between two or more cultures and their repercussions. To this end, the two schools have invited fifteen speakers with very different backgrounds: artists, archivist-paleographers, curators, exhibition curators, historians, and travel agency managers. This complementarity, combining history, art history, economics, politics, and creation, will enrich the perspective on intercultural dialogue.
Through figures, works, places, cities, or thematic questions, they will address the encounter of cultures and the questions related to it.
The seminar consists of 4 half-days, on Friday mornings October 13 and 27, December 8 and 15, from 9:30 to 13:00 at the École Nationale des Chartes.
