Mudam Akademie: Moving images: cinema, memory and alterity | In dialogue with Tiffany Sia | FR

An invitation to immerse yourself in the world of modern and contemporary creation.

The Mudam Akademie offers an introduction to modern and contemporary art, showing how artists of the past and the present act as inventors of aesthetic universes, as well as catalysts and interpreters of major societal events.

In direct dialogue with Mudam’s wide-ranging exhibition programme, this lecture series demonstrates that the museum seeks to be an open space that remains attentive to the world’s transformations. Accessible to both, newcomers and more experienced audiences, the Mudam Akademie aims to make art history approachable for everyone.

The Mudam Akademie is organised in collaboration with the Ministry of National Education, Children and Youth.

This series is conceived and led by Fanny Weinquin.

Session 3 – 10.12.2025 – Single session, In conversation (FR) 
Moving images: cinema, memory and alterity 
In dialogue with Tiffany Sia – Phantasmatic Screens 
How do contemporary artists use video to explore history, exile, diasporic imagination or collective memory? This session proposes to reflect on expanded cinema, the deconstruction of national narratives and the potential of the image to represent states of temporal instability. It highlights intersections between research, visual essay and cinematic experimentation.
