This session brings together our board’s artist in residence, Jack Tan, FACT board member, Matthew Balnaves and artist, curator and cultural futurist Lauren Craig to consider accounting and accountability.

The panel will consider ways of drawing on other world views of accounting, to reconsider who and what is accounted for and the stories they represent, allowing us to shift the ways in which an institution is held to account. This session will be moderated by FACT’s Head of Programme, Maitreyi Maheshwari.

This event follows Jack’s recent Performing Trust conversation with Rachel Higham and Jane Wentworth from Framework for Trust, which questioned how to build, maintain and explore trust through organisational work and policy-making.
