Organised in the context of Zoe Leonard’s exhibition Zoe Leonard. Al río / To the River, the symposium Riverine Borders: On rivers and other border materialities focuses on the materiality of these river borders from a territorial, geographical, and political point of view, and also from a metaphorical perspective, as arbitrary places where interests and ideologies overlap and clash.

A number of scholars and researchers in the fields of visual arts, cultural studies, history and geography will consider the riverine border in the North American and European contexts, on Friday 20.05.2022, from 09h00–18h00. In English.
