Sat April 13, 2019

This discussion will consider visions for collaborative intercultural work in Australia and abroad, and the role artists can have in subverting an extant distribution of power that is still embedded in our history and contemporary life.
This event will directly follow the Artist & Curator Talk | Those Monuments Don’t Know Us.
