Creative Time Summit at BAM
States of Emergence: Land After Property and Catastrophe

A global convening of the interconnected fields of art and social justice
Organized by Creative Time

Curated by Creative Time Curator Diya Vij with Anna Harsanyi and Gervais Marsh

As a roving platform for providing strategies for social change, the Creative Time Summit is the largest global conference on socially engaged art, gathering artists, activists, and thought leaders from around the world. For Creative Time’s 50th anniversary, the Summit returns for a weekend-long conference, States of Emergence: Land After Property and Catastrophe, fostering and engaging dialogue surrounding the question: how does emergency produce radical possibility?

Considering borders and statelessness, land rights, agriculture, climate, resources, and formations for living beyond property, the Summit brings together artists, activists, and thought leaders from across the world who are mounting tactics of land justice, redistribution, reparation, sovereignty, and other reimaginings of the relationships between communities and land.

Presenters include: Alarm Phone, Tizintizwa (Nadir Bouhmouch and Soumeya Ait Ahmed), Tanya Aguiñiga, Isshaq Albarbary , Marwa Arsanios, Anca Benera and Arnold Estefan, Kazembe Balagun, Natalie Ball, Andrea Ballestero, Diana Buttu, Enzo Camacho and Ami Lien, Centre d’art Waza (Patrick Mudekereza), Mao Chenyu, Dar Jacir for Art and Research, Natalie Diaz, Eliza Evans, Hawaii NonLinear (Sean Connelly), Karachi LaJamia (Shahana Rajani and Zahra Malkani), Las Nietas de Nonó, Leil Mortada, Lenni Lenapexkweyok (River Whittle), New Red Order, Alofipo So’o alo Fleur Ramsay, The Shipibo Center (Abou Farman), Andrés Cano Sierro/Maiz de Vida, Rinaldo Walcott, Ather Zia, and more.

Summit 2024 is organized by Creative Time Curator Diya Vij with Assistant Curator Anna Harsanyi and Artist Research Manager Gervais Marsh in thought partnership with Summit 2024 Advisors: Sarah Biscarra Dilley, Ntone Edjabe, Emily Jacir, Maya Juracán, Adam Khalil, Dominic Leong, Aziz Sohail, and Hanlu Zhang.


The complete line-up and programming schedule will be announced in early September. Subscribe to Creative Time via this link to receive updates about community events and plenary sessions over the Summit weekend.
