On Horizons: Art and Political Imagination, the second in the series of FORMER WEST Research Congresses, takes place on 4-6 November 2010 at Istanbul Technical University, Istanbul. Congress proceedings can be followed via live stream, and will be archived on the FORMER WEST digital platform.

FORMER WEST is a contemporary art research, education, publishing and exhibition project (2008-13) that intends to critically reinterpret our recent post-1989 histories and speculates about our global future. It is realized by a dense international network of researchers and institutional partners, including Afterall.
