Organised by Somerset House
We bring you a panel discussion that delves in to the practices of this year's Amplify artist cohort, exploring ideas of creativity in adversity.
Tune in here, Fri 27 Nov 17.00 - 18.00 GMT
Somerset House Studios continues its partnership with MUTEK and the British Council on Amplify Digital Arts Initiative, a residency that connects and empowers an active network of women-identifying artists and professionals working in the digital arts, sound and immersive storytelling sectors in Canada, Latin America and the UK.
In this panel discussion, we will be exploring what it means to be an artist in this new era of uncertainty and how we create art in a time of crisis, leaving space to question whether we ‘need’ to create art right now. We'll have artist presetnation from Chloe Alexandra Thompson, a Cree, Canadian, interdisciplinary artist and sound designer, Colombian electronic music producer, transmedia artist, trans-non binary activist and teacher Efe Ce Ele who is currently based in Buenos Aires and interdisciplinary media artist, Sonya Stefan from Canada plus GLOR1A, a UK-based multidisciplinary artist rooted in experimental R&B music and Afrofuturism
This conversation will be moderated by Patti Schmidt.
In partnership with British Council and MUTEK. Canadian Amplify artists are supported by the British Council and the Canada Council for the Arts.
