Call for Papers: Spring Seminar 2022

The Spring Seminar 2022, which will take place between May 4 and 6, takes as its starting point issues raised by the photographic work of Brazilian artist Alice Miceli. In Depth: minefields displays four series of images taken in various  regions across countries where landmines and other explosives remnants of war play an invisible yet all-determining role, namely, Cambodia, Bosnia, Colombia and Angola.
