Diversity is a constant in the world. Means plurality, differentiation. It concerns the variety and coexistence of innumerable cultures, languages, traditions, customs, spiritualities, bodies and genders. Ethnicity, immigration status, nationality, family organization model, politics, socioeconomic class and sexual orientation are also part of the dialogue on global diversity.

It is a real and urgent issue in the contemporary world, which has a significant impact in the scope of social policies and in the philosophies of education. However, diversity easily turns into adversity in moments of exclusionary extremism and the rise of fascism, as is currently the case around the globe.

FUSO 2020 seeks to reflect how current artistic practices address the global diversity and the problems faced when the concentration of diverse thoughts is not always received in a peaceful manner, leading to intolerance, racism, violence and exclusion.
