Discussing how the participatory theatre sector can support Anti-Racism.
Date: Thursday 15th July 11.00am-1.30pm
Posted: 10/03/2022
Calling question: What role can the arts, arts organisations and arts workers play in eradicating racism and building more inclusive communities?
Context for the question & who the event is for:
We need to build a more inclusive idea of what Britain needs
to become if it is to play a real part in eradicating racism of all
forms. The arts have a key role to play in this struggle. A Manifest to Create a Safe Space Free of Racism for the Black Artist
This event will explore how the participatory theatre sector can
support Anti-Racism through our arts practice and how we can assist with
diversifying our sector and workforce.
Join guest speakers to hear about how their work is addressing
inequality, diversity and access to the arts. These presentations will
be aimed to provoke your own thinking around your arts practice.
Speakers to be announced soon…
