To Whose Voices Should We Be Listening?
So Long As Womxn Are Not Free, The People Are Not Free
'Our urban futures are not only to be predicted, but to be created, to be rehearsed. Which is why we need experimenting cities: where political imagination meets social creativity, adding to the repertoire of possibilities and urban DNA.' GABRIELLA GÓMEZ-MONT
A discussion on the power of imagination to effect future change and public space.
Gabriella Gómez-Mont, a powerful advocate for the role of art in the building of our future and a leading voice in how imagination can help solve the challenges of cities and their inhabitants, will look at the interface between art, community, urban planning, health and technology. She will examine the role of art in governing cities and shaping public space, and consider how we protect space for artistic risk, radicality and relevance.
This event is part of the In Between Time Summit Day 2 programme.
Co-presented by In Between Time and Arnolfini.
