ART IN REAL LIFE: MIGRATION
ART IN REAL LIFE: MIGRATION
How can artists and arts institutions respond to the migrant crisis?
18 NOVEMBER 2019 AT 18.30–20.00
TATE MODERN
Taking Olafur Eliasson’s project Green Light – An artistic workshop (2015-ongoing) as a catalyst, this event will question how artists and art institutions can engage with migration in a moment of crisis. Examining a broad range of strategies, the speakers will discuss the potential of art and its limits.
Artists Larissa Sansour and Imran Perretta in conversation with Michaela Crimmin, co-director of Culture+Conflict.
