How does emergency produce revolution?
Considering borders and statelessness, land rights, agriculture, climate, resources, 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.
The Summit 2024 is curated 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.
