At a time when the world seems to be all about creating division, five of Darwin’s leading arts organisations (Brown’s Mart, Corrugated Iron Youth Arts, Darwin Community Arts, Darwin Fringe Festival, Tracks Dance Company) have come together to create CRITICAL CONVERSATIONS. This series of forums will run throughout the year, allowing for important conversations about arts activism, ethical arts practice and our social responsibility as creatives. Each organisation will host their forum, focusing on issues that affect them. There will also be time for audience questions.
How can the art community effectively promote critical dialogue while navigating the pressures of funding and commercialisation? What strategies can be implemented better to support underrepresented artists in a rapidly changing environment? In what ways can artists maintain their creative integrity amidst the increasing demands for speed and profitability in the art world?
