Featuring the Presentation of MOCA’s publication:
Re/Claiming Art, Power, Ideas and Vision in an Ethnically Plural Community
The “process of projection” and the “process of appropriation” help in understanding MOCA’s recent experiences. Projection is defined as attributed, desirable or institutionally-prescribed identities within which notions of social constraints, referents or cultural frameworks are embedded. Appropriation is defined as concrete social practices, channels, operations of classification by individuals and groups. This panel examines the ways they are permanently negotiated in a more or less conscious manner by individuals i.e. questions of reception, interpretation and appropriation.
