P U B L I C D E M O S G R O U P S @ G M A I L . C O M Public space is the place for assembly of
people, empowerment of persons. It is the hub of democracy as well as the
manifestation of state power.
PublicDemoS Project explores the ways in which new forms of public agency
extends politics to everyday life experiences, opening up avenues of artistic expressions and aesthetic forms.
The core aim of this project is to renew democratic agendas by politics of performative citizenship and public
making in multicultural settings.

PROGRAM
9:00 Nilüfer Göle, Introductory Remarks
Art as a defined set of practices participates to the agonistic dimension of the public sphere, challenges dominant norms and becomes part of controversies.
We privilege in our approach the materiality of the public space, artistic expressions, styles as a way of making society, and a mode of translating and transforming the cultural conflicts. In multicultural contexts the norms of public space are unsettled by the appearance of new actors, visibility of differences that change power relations. Public practices such as codes of civility, clothing and language challenge the cultural norms, common sense and established conventions of the national public space and calls for a new “partage du sensible” (Jacques Rancière).
