What change do you want to see in the world and who do you need to have a conversation with to make it happen? What’s your proposition? Issues around social justice, health, education and the environment affect us all. Visit Tate Exchange to create your proposition for change in the world. Test your attitudes and preconceptions, participate in three-way dialogues with artists, non-profit organisations, campaigners and activists, and solve complex problems together.
Power separates people from what they can do. What shall we do? Students from Plymouth College of Art and Plymouth School of Creative Arts’ continuum of creative education, from early years to MA-level and professional practice, will present a four-day programme of events to crowd-source plans and effect positive change in our communities. Invited speakers and guests will include respected political activists, policy-makers, researchers and historians in varied fields including social justice, inclusivity, animal rights, environmentalism and the arts, in addition to representatives from Atlantic Youth Creative Hubs partners across the UK, France and Spain. Each day will take its theme from propositions created by members across the creative continuum, covering the fields of: borders & migration, creative education, gender & identity, and voices of activism.
This four-day programme of events is FREE and accessible for all ages and abilities. Students from across the continuum of creative education will be on hand to welcome you to the space and help you to connect with the people who can benefit from your knowledge and opinions as much as you can from theirs. Create your proposition for change, answer the questions that matter and build plans for a better future. Who do you need to have a conversation with?
