THE POLIS PROJECT for Fondazione ICA Milano

Fondazione ICA Milano hosts on its website The Polis Project, a hybrid research and journalism organization that produces knowledge about some of the most important issues affecting our present by amplifying diverse perspectives from those involved in conflicts and crisis first hand.

By weekly incisive posts on ICA's website www.icamilano.itand its social channels such as Instagram and Facebook, the project aims at raising a collective reflection on the politics of representation.
Through a bi-monthly palimpsest, the selected contents highlight the contemporary pandemic and some of its political consequences that the emergency caused to minorities and underprivileged groups with articles regarding both Italy and India, focusing as well on the representation of the other, conceived as a reified or exotic body or as a political opponent.

By facilitating the circulation of The Polis Project's contents on its digital platform, #fondazioneicamilano confirms its engagement towards the fundamental role of art and culture in the shaping of contemporary daily life.
 
The Polis Project is made by: Suchitra Vijayan, photographer, lawyer, political essayist and lecturer; Asim Rafiqui, independent photojournalist and Francesca Recchia, independent researcher and writer.
