panel on art and social commitment chaired by Shuddhabrata Sengupta of Raqs Media Collective and featuring artists Tania Bruguera, Anri Sala and Jeanne
van Heeswijk; and a conversation on «complicating the Modern» from Ann Temkin, Marie - Josée and Henry Kravis Chief Curator of
Painting and Sculpture at MoMA.
