a.r.t.e.s. forum 2025 - Disturbances

The a.r.t.e.s. forum 2025 will take place on 10th of July in the New Senate Hall in the university's main building. Everything will revolve around the topic of ‘Disturbance:s’. ‘Disturbance’ is a multifaceted term that can stand for disturbances of all kinds as well as for unrest in the political sense. We want to approach the term from different perspectives, with a thematic spectrum ranging from political events and their cultural processing to the creation and negotiation of normality in a social context.
