PresentationPublic sphere, as an ideal type, has been conceptualized as a discursive realm, enlightened sphere of ideas, opinions and rational debate in a national democratic context. In the contemporary era, cultural heterogeneity and global connections challenge the unity of national communities and its norms. Art becomes part of norms conflicts and reveals the controversial dimensions of the public sphere. We will explore plurality of perspectives in multicultural settings for the emancipatory potential of the public sphere.ProgrammeFriday, 13 October 20179.30 Nil&#252;fer G&#246;le, Art and Public Controversy10.00&#160;-&#160;11.30 Session 110.00 Judit Carrera, Architecture and Culture for Democratizing City Life10.30 Yaman Kayabalı, Art of Troublemaking in Gezi11.00 Duo comments followed by discussion11.30 Coffee break12.00&#160;-&#160;13.30 Session 212.00 Sarah Dornhof, Contesting Memories and the Politics of Art: Manaf Halbouni&#8217;s Monument Installation in Dresden (2017) 12.30 Marina Repezza, The Mosque&#160;by Christoph B&#252;chel: Contemporary Artbetween Profanation and Consecration.
