About

This talk between Mark Miller and Adama Sanneh, mediated by Ingrid Fortez will focus on their work regarding art and  education and their understanding of how can art education create systems of freedom for learning and understanding  social and cultural identities and communities

How do art and creativity create means of freedom?

How can art and education open engagement to broader audiences?

This session explores the role of learning-focused public programmes within art institutions and their relationship to broad audiences.

Within the current climate of change and uncertainty, can the role of public programmes within Galleries and Museums become the starting point for new approaches to resetting approaches to the presentation of artistic programmes. Is this an opportunity for organizations to re-think their ambitions for connecting to audiences that are underrepresented within these context.

What are the conflicts and possibilities, as well as what can be done, and cannot be done?
