Join us in exploring the intersection of art, activism and language with invited artists and researchers. This community-oriented research day aims to discuss resistant art practices, exploring the role of art-making and co-production in contemporary art institutions.
There will be a series of presentations by artists, activists and community researchers, led by artist-researcher Emma Curd as part of her PhD. The project aims to democratise the institutional language encountered in museums and galleries, and will conclude in the production of a printed toolkit designed to disarm authoritative voices in contemporary art spaces.
This event aims to empower individuals and groups in the gallery space, to boost ownership of art works in Tate's public collection, as well as providing a sense of comfort and agency within spaces that aren't necessarily welcoming.
