SCAN Gathering: Maintaining Global Visions at Times of Change

A public event for the contemporary art sector themed around the challenges and rewards of maintaining outward-looking perspectives in contemporary art, in the current context of fast-moving and radical change in international relations.

Prior to that she was curator for media programming and education at New York’s New Museum, and curator of contemporary art and design at Glasgow Museums. Karen MacKinnon, the Director of Artes Mundi, will talk about the international focus and social vision of the Artes Mundi Prize, whose recent winners include artists John Akomfrah and Theaster Gates. Kate Gray, of Collective, will describe how their capital project in one of the most historic sites of Edinburgh fulfils Collective’s mission of a new kind of Edinburgh Observatory: bringing people together around innovative art and iconic heritage. Dele Adeyemo, Creative Director Culture and Strategy at Pidgin Perfect, Glasgow a creative consultancy working internationally on a wide range of development programmes and placemaking projects, will talk about decentring and diversity, citizenship and place-making in relation to projects in South Africa, England, Lagos and Lahore
