Art for All, All for Art: A more inclusive Art space

Tuesday 6th August 2019  | 19:00 - 20:30

As a collaboration between the P21 Gallery and the Resilience Exile Mutation (REM) exhibition we are holding a talk on the question of Inclusivity in the Art Space. We will be discussing Graffiti and newer art forms, how they are, and have been, perceived over the years and their current place in the art world. Our panel will be featuring among others confirmed and emerging artists, Dema One, a Belgian-Moroccan Calligraffiti artist whose exhibition REM will be on display in the gallery; and Rayan El Nayal, a young British-Sudanese researcher and architectural graduate, whose upcoming exhibition shows the streets of London redesigned through her Afrabian Magic Realist lens. They will be joined by visual artist Kairau ‘Haser’ Bradley, a Maori artist of Nga Puhi decent, whose works tell a story of his fear of love, a place for his people and hope for a better world. Together they will discuss the rationale behind their unique hybridised art forms and their experience in the curatorial and gallery setting. How they strive to make a place for themselves in an elitist Western Art scene, what their obstacles are and who have been their allies.
