Time Matters
- Started in: January 2019
- Finished in: December 2020
Time Matters aims to collectively explore changing concepts of time in the arts and other fields concerned with knowledge. The meetings revolve around exploring and testing alternative temporalities – which can relate to both past, present and future. The aim of the research seminar and the publication was to inquire into the changing concepts of time in the arts and other epistemic fields collectively, and to explore and test alternative – past, present, and future-oriented – temporalities.
