CCSR Culture & Polity Series
IV: Public Policy
March 27, 2013, 18:30-20:30, £7/5
PS2, Iniva, Rivington Street, London http://www.iniva.org/
Presented in association with Iniva, the fourth and final event in the Centre
for Cultural Studies Research seminar series Culture & Polity explores the
question of public policy. As the government's austerity drive continues to
whittle away arts funding while ministers question the very value of the
arts, how should artists and arts bodies respond? What might a progressive
arts policy look like? Is Britain’s cultural and creative sector under
threat. Or will hard times inspire aesthetic and political radicalism?
Tessa Jackson: Chief Executive Officer, Iniva. Tessa has over 25 years
experience within the visual arts as a gallery director, curator, and
consultant on cultural policy and strategic planning in Britain and
internationally. Tessa was the founding Artistic Director of Artes Mundi and
has curated recent exhibitions by NS Harsha, Chen Chieh-jen and Zineb Sedira.
Áine O’Brien: Áine is Co-Director of Counterpoints Arts, London, and leads on
creative direction at Pivotal Arts, Dublin. She created the Forum on
Migration and Communications and co-founded the Centre for Transcultural
Research and Media Practice. Her productions to date (film, print and
curation) explore global storylines linking migration, creative documentary
and social change.
