Meet the Artist: ‘Marco Godinho’

Luxembourgish-Portuguese artist Marco Godinho, who represented Luxembourg at the 2019 Venice Biennale, meets students and staff of the University of Luxembourg for a conversation about his work on displacement, time, memory and multicultural identity.

Marco Godinho is a Luxembourgish-Portuguese artist whose poetic, multidisciplinary work explores displacement, the passing of time, memory and multicultural identity.

In this talk, the artist will share his journey as a “nomadic traveller” and some of his best-known works, such as Forever Immigrant and Written by Water (Venice Biennale, 2019), with students of the University of Luxembourg, many of whose own lives have been shaped by moving between places and cultures.

The discussion will bring together the artist’s perspective on migration, on time and duration, and on the connection between his art and the natural world, with the wide range of disciplines taught at the University: literature, architecture, social sciences and more.

The event takes the form of a participatory conversation with Marco Godinho with the audience invited to join in from the start.
