LIVE: Art vs Artivism

When art sets out to make a social or environmental impact – are we ticking boxes or are we changing the world?In February 2020 we were joined by theatre director and Dash Associate Artist Sophie Austin, Dr Michele Aaron (Screening Rights Film Festival)and Co-founders of Birmingham-based collective MAIA Group Amahra Spence and Amber Caldwell to delve into the challenges of activism through art, and look at the tension between art for art’s sake and art as a means to an end.This event was also accompanied by music from Ukrainian singer-songwriter Iryna Muha, which you can listen to here: https://irynamuha.co.ukRecorded at Warwick Arts Centre.
