Public Art + Dissent: Art, Protest and Public Spaces Mini-Course - Day 1

Subtitle: 
Mini-Course for K-12 Educators
Event Status: 
As Scheduled
Date: 
Mon, 11/09/2020 - 18:00 to 20:30

Throughout our history, art and artists have resisted oppression, violence, injustice, and inequality. Some of the world’s most interesting art is on the streets and easily accessible to all. In this workshop we will discuss how protest art uses public space to engage in dialogue between the artist and the public. At an unprecedented moment in geopolitics, the work of public artists amplifies activism, resistance, and solidarity. Artists give context and vision to broad social movements, supporting those who have been marginalized and who need justice.

On June 15th 2020, the EU officially reopened its inner borders, effectively lifting the travel restrictions put in place to contain the spread of COVID-19. The Schengen Agreement’s ‘Free Movement of Persons’ —considered as one of the most meaningful, and also the most popular accomplishments ever of European integration— was then back in force.

Pandemics in Europe: Political and Social Responses Series - Crisis Signaling: How Italy's Coronavirus Lockdown affected incumbent Support in Other European Countries

Presenter: 
Catherine de Vries, Bocconi University
Event Status: 
As Scheduled
Date: 
Tue, 10/06/2020 - 12:00

The COVID-19 pandemic is an unparalleled global crisis. Yet, despite the grave adversity faced by citizens, incumbents around the world experienced a boost in popularity during the onset of the outbreak. In this study, we examine how the response to the COVID-19 outbreak in one country has affected incumbent support in other countries. Specifically, we leverage the fact that the first country-wide lockdown on European soil, in Italy on March 9, 2020, happened during the fieldwork of online surveys conducted in four other European countries, France, Germany, Poland and Spain.
