Archipelago of Artistic Practices is a Research Summit organised by Jubilee and M HKA based on Eavatea, a digital infrastructure for mapping research-based and transdisciplinary practices. The programme takes place in conjunction with M HKA’s major exhibition The Geopolitics of Infrastructure and includes the participation of many of its exhibiting artists. The Research Summit centres around four thematic days, addressing: the geopolitics of infrastructure (14 June), infrastructure of archives (15 June), archipelago of artistic practices (20 June), and mapping and performing infrastructure (21 June). The Research Summit focuses on the premise of ‘learning by doing’. Collective interventions and moments of constructive reflection, including screenings, performances, walks and bike tours, explore themes of the exhibition and interrogate the Eavatea interface as an innovative relational infrastructure that seeks to inspire, initiate and underpin new research-based artistic trajectories.
