This symposium is a research event with art professionals (artists, curators, and directors of cultural organisations), academics, researchers, constituencies and practitioners who apply art as a tool to be used as a resource for social, economic and political change.
Focusing on urgent questions animating the debate around radical education and the recent disruptions caused by the pandemic, the roaming symposium would be a moment to look closely at the proliferation of both online and offline platforms and methods which aim to facilitate the documentation, activation of case studies, and the application of toolkits.
Invited guests include artist Daniel Godínez-Nivón (MX), curator and art historian Gemma Medina (ES/NL), educator and curator Gabriela Saenger Silva (BR/UK), curator Lisa Heinis (BE/NL), artist Owen Griffiths (UK), Tŷ Pawb’s artistic director Jo Marsh (UK), the Center for Convivial Research and Autonomy - Manolo Callahan and Annie Paradise (USA), curator and researcher Kuba Szreder (PL), Lead Officer and Culture Coordinator at Liverpool City Region Combined Authority Sarah Lovell (UK), art collective The Alternative School of Economics – Ruth Beale and Amy Feneck (UK), the Whitworth and Manchester Art Gallery's director Alistair Hudson, artist Tania Bruguera (CU), artist Suzanne Lacy (USA) and others to be confirmed.
This event is a collaboration between The City Lab at Liverpool John Moores University’s School of Art and Design (Liverpool, UK), The Whitworth (Manchester, UK) and The Association of Arte Útil.
