Out of Spaced: Artistic Courage Symposium at RMIT
We are delighted to see Ana Tiquia, who will be working with the community of Esperance in our Rural Utopias program appear as a presenter in the upcoming Artist Courage: reimagining work, ambition, and equity in the arts Symposium at RMIT.
This symposium brings together artists, researchers, and organisers to yarn, present, and perform about their diverse arts practices and imagine creative approaches for the future of work in the visual arts sector. Participants will present creative ideas that challenge existing processes and structures to create more equitable, inclusive, and collaborative approaches that recognise and embrace the diverse cultural and social values in artistic and creative practices today.
Friday 29 July, 12 - 5PM AEST at RMIT University (CBD location to be confirmed soon).
Registration is free for this symposium and all are welcome.
About the artists:
Ana Tiquia is a transdisciplinary artist, cultural producer, curator, and future strategist. Integrating participatory art, design and futures practice, Ana creates public interventions: works that invite audiences into dialogue with ‘the future’. Her practice is one of inclusion that aims to ‘future’ with other humans, creatures, and things – to generate diverse, plural, and transformative future imaginaries. Ana has a deep commitment to the role of arts practice in relation to future inquiry, imagining, and social-ecological change. Her projects explore energy and material futures, futures of work and labour and the power dynamics encoded in algorithmic systems.
