Join us tonight for our pre-AGM panel "Crisis As A Catalyst For Change", an enriching intergenerational dialogue between two emergent and established voices independent curator, critic, writer, arts administrator, and community organizer Vince Rozario; in conversation with accomplished writer, critic, curator, contemporary artist and public intellectual Zainub Verjee. The conversation will examine the sustainability of both an individual arts practice as well as long-term c...ommunity supports for marginalized artists; interrogating both of these challenges using a framework of "crisis as a catalyst for change". How have artists historically navigated these power structures? How has the current moment of crisis exacerbated these barriers? What opportunities does the moment offer for meaningful & sustainable long-term transformation? The talk & meeting will be held online, via Zoom, from 6:00pm to 8:00pm.
