Cancelled Past event
In Conversation: Protest, Power and the Politics of Art Part of 'Say No! Art, Activism and Feminist Refusal' at the Wardlaw Museum
This event has been cancelled
Throughout history, artists have used their work to confront injustice, challenge power, and inspire change. From protest posters and powerful murals to provocative performances and digital media, art has served as a force for resistance and a voice for the voiceless.
Join us for a thought-provoking panel discussion exploring the role of art in social and political movements—past and present. What can we learn from these creative acts of defiance, and how can today's artists continue to shape a more just future?
Panel:
Dr Jon Blackwood – Associate Professor (Contemporary Art), Robert Gordon University
Dr Helen Pierce – Senior Lecturer in Art History, University of Aberdeen
Dr Catherine Spencer – Senior Lecturer in Art History, University of St Andrews
In conversation: Protest, Power and the Politics of Art will also be live streamed. Please click Join Online Event at the top of the page to register for online attendance.
