Making Art for Whom? is a lecture series organized by the Visual Arts Department at HEAD – Geneva. It invites artists, researchers, and curators to question the various forms of engagement through art practices. Making art always involves forms of resistance and resilience, whether through the individual commitment of the artist in their work or through collective strategies. Making Art for Whom? explores the diversity of critical stances that respond to the geopolitical and ecological urgencies shaking our contemporary world. The series aims to reflect on the different approaches, practices, strategies, formats and audiences involved in the question for whom do we make art, and why? through a variety of interdisciplinary perspectives.
