Artists’ Solidarity panel Buzzcut Festival at the Pearce Institute Glasgow

Description

Artists’ Solidarity panel

Fablevision in cooperation with the School of Media, Culture and Society at the University of the West of Scotland leads an interdisciplinary panel aimed to address challenges around grass roots art-centred activism, competing frameworks and raising individualism. As BUZZCUT Festival is focused on art engagement, the aim is to debate artists’ role in physical, social and cultural infrastructure developments, in particular in relation to the Govan Graving Docks’ futures.

Let’s talk about legacy of the past, present opportunities and real impact on the future. Let’s dis-course solidarity and community bringing in live experience from Govan (Glasgow), Gdansk (Poland) and beyond. Let’s focus on realised and planned interventions around Graving Docks. Let’s think about state of play and its possible futures. Let’s explore concepts around heritage reconstructions. Let’s listen, think, talk and share. Let’s make an impact.

Prof Katarzyna Kosmala/Liz Gardiner - Introducing Riverside Solidarity focused around artists’ residencies, bringing in live experience from Govan (Glasgow), Gdansk (Poland) and beyond.
