London meetups

Each session will be hosted by an artist or curator dedicated to socially engaged practice with guest speakers sharing insight into the ongoing question we ask ourselves: what does it mean to be making art through social engagement art right now?

Living and working during a pandemic in the digital age is challenging the neoliberal notions of time and productivity. Mutual aid networks springing up across the country are demonstrating the need and ability of communities to self-organise. Amidst this, artists who work directly with communities, often in precarious sites and with vulnerable groups are the cultural key workers who can help us make sense of the times we are living in.

These meetups are an invitation to come together and collectively work through what we are doing, why we are doing it and how we are working and living during and after the Covid-19 emergency.
