Other Possible Futures: Art, Memory, and Care in Exile

Public roundtable event

Building on Nicaraguan and Colombian exiles’ artistic communal practices in the Netherlands, this roundtable invites the sharing of art initiatives and research by and/or with refugee communities. With this roundtable, we aim to explore connections along the lines of care practices, art, memory, solidarity, communal organization, and future imaginaries with other exile communities and researchers in the Netherlands/Europe.
Date
17 October 2026
Time
16:00 -21:00
Location
Lola Lieven, Rodenrijsstraat 43, Amsterdam

This event intends to open discussions on:

  1. Methodological and theoretical ways to think about the political, social, and creative dimensions of refugee community and solidarity organizing
  2. Textual and non-textual narratives of exile that decenter the past as the only exile narrative
  3. The multiple ways of care among human and more-than-human bodies amid the political tensions in Europe around asylum seeking

This roundtable is organized by Nicaraguan and Colombian communities in exile in the Netherlands, together with dr. Julienne Weegels, Adrián Ortega Lobo and Mick Sarria, with the support of the University of Amsterdam Centre for Migration studies (ARC-M) and the ARTES Violence & Political Justice cluster.
