A event on Wednesday 16th July. The event starts at 18:30.
What do artists bring to community environmental, climate and nature action?
At a time when artists are needed more than ever - to activate imaginings of new futures, disrupt the status quo, make the invisible visible and create irresistible narratives of more just worlds - it feels really important that we come together across sectors to explore what we can do to sustain and support this vital work & how we make sure that communities are at the heart of this.
Your voice matters. Join us!
Be inspired by artists who’ve worked in Knowle West over the years, hear from local nature activists and take creative action together. Eat, meet and discover new collaborators.
SCHEDULE:
6.00-6.30pm: Welcome drink, exhibition viewing and conversation.
6.30-7pm: Introduction and discussion about artists Helen Mayer Harrison and Newton Harrison with Chris Fremantle, author of the new book 'Thinking with the Harrisons. Re-imagining the Arts in the Global Environment Crisis', artist and producer David Haley and Carolyn Hassan founder of KWMC.
7-7.45pm: Inspiration from artists: Teresa Dillon, Miriam Quick, Richard Layzell and Emmanuella Blake-Morsi.
8-9pm: Meal and discussion.
Let's look to the future together. Help shape “What’s next for artists and communities taking climate and nature action” Be part of this vital conversation and consider ''What role you play?''
This special event is part of a series bringing to life the ‘Foundations for the Future: KWMC past and present’ exhibition. The exhibition charts 29 years of KWMC; curated by KWMC founder Carolyn Hassan and team.
The exhibition remains open 9:30-5pm Monday to Friday until the end of 2025. Anyone is welcome to pop in, just give us a quick call or email first to double check the space is free (0117 903 0444 / [email protected]).
