Join us for our Artist Voices In Conversation event, as we explore the role of artists and art spaces in climate activism
About
As part of ‘a space; arts’ expanded Artist Voices programme, we will host an in-conversation and open discussion between our climate action programme contributors Bijan Moosavi, Harry Meadows and Lizzie Jones and special guest moderator, curator & artist Amal Khalaf. Audience members are encouraged to contribute to the discussion throughout.
We’ll discuss the way that visual arts practice addresses climate change, the role of art spaces in climate activism and the increasing demand for artists to act as agents of social change. The core aim of ‘a space’ arts Artist Voices programme is to support artist development by unpacking and demystifying key topics and issues of the visual arts ecology through discussion with artists and cultural workers.
