How do the inherited infrastructures of art and culture - its hegemonic canons, institutions, power dynamics, and representative frameworks - shape what is made, who is seen, and how stories are told? 

From across the foreign Academies and Cultural Institutes in Rome, this round table brings together three practitioners in visual art, film, and research: Latefa Wiersch, whose exhibition Atlas Studios at the Istituto Svizzero plays with inherited narratives of otherness and empire; Chelsea Winstanley, a Māori filmmaker whose work documents indigenous self-determination within contemporary art institutions; and Diogo Rodrigues de Barros of the Bibliotheca Hertziana, whose research offers a comparative study of art institutions and critical discourses in Italy and Latin America.

In collaboration with Istituto Svizzero, Bibliotheca Hertziana, and the New Zealand Embassy in Rome.
