Webinar: Creative Engagements on the Front Lines

O N C A

Creative practices are central to activism on the front lines of resistance against forces that are changing the skin of the planet. Viruses don’t stop machines, and extractive practices continue despite the current pandemic, affecting organising and creating. 
How do creative engagements on the front lines continue in a pandemic? How does COVID-19 emphasise the importance of continued acts of solidarity and resistance? What are ways of continuing the ‘doing’ but also new ways of ‘not doing’ or ‘doing differently’? 
In anticipation of the launch of Extracting Us, an online collaborative exhibition and conversation, artists-activists-scholars will share their experiences of doing this work: <A HREF="https://tracyglynn.ca/" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Tracy Glynn</A>, participatory action researcher studying at the University of New Brunswick in Canada, <A HREF="https://www.instagram.com/edgarkanayko/" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Edgar Xakriabá</A>,<A HREF="https://www.instagram.com/denilsonbaniwa/" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer"> Denilson Baniwa</A> and<A HREF="http://www.jaideresbell.com.br/site/" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer"> Jaider Esbell</A>, independent artists and activists based in Brazil,<A HREF="https://research-information.bris.ac.uk/en/persons/negar-elodie-behzadi" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer"> Negar Elodie Behzadi</A>, Lecturer at the University of Bristol working in Tajikistan, and <A HREF="https://www.daiaratukano.com/" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Daiara Tukano</A>, independent artists activist educator and researcher based in Brasilia Brazil (TBC).
