Join Rabiya Choudhry, Kate Davis, Sean Edwards, Onyeka Igwe, and Yuri Pattison for a discussion on 'anywhere in the universe' our project looking at the present, past and future of the public library.
Artists will discuss the focus and inspiration for their individual commissions: from community empowerment and representation to pedagogical plays, the reclaiming of words and the privatisation of knowledge. They will reflect on their own experiences of libraries and speculate on what the future of libraries might look like.
Artists will be in discussion with Dr Karen Di Franco. Di Franco is a curator and writer and currently Programme Leader, MLitt Curatorial Practice (Contemporary Art) at Glasgow School of Art and Programme Curator at Chelsea Space, Chelsea College of Arts. She is currently working on a solo exhibition of American artist Constance DeJong.
