Public Exposures Symposium
The Public Exposures symposium (May 27, 28, 29) is bringing together participants
from diverse communities and working sectors — practicing artists, community activists, union members, educators, students, and more. Inspired by Condé and Beveridge’s innovative art, and their strategic activism, the broad aims of the symposium are:
• To reflect on issues and strategies that they and many others are engaging —specifically
in the areas of artists’ rights, and art and labour — and more broadly around needs for
social, economic, and environmental justice.
• To energize grassroots collaborations —renewing/strengthening existing links—seeding
new possibilities for artists and activists working in the public sphere.
The symposium will have local, national, and international scope, with guest-participants from across Canada, the U.S. and the U.K. Scheduled events will be hosted in three locations — at the exhibition site in the 401 Richmond building; at OCAD University; and the United Steelworkers’ Hall — all within walking distance. Each day of the symposium will engage participants differently.
Preliminary agendas can be found here:
