Join us on Monday 27 October for the next instalment in the BEMAC Discussions series; a free panel discussion on “Care and Community in Contemporary Art: The intersection of heritage, care and co-design in contemporary art practices”. Focusing on how artists from diverse cultural backgrounds carry forward and reinterpret inherited traditions, the discussion will examine meaningful ways to engage communities. Panelists will reflect on principles of care and engagement,and how cultural inheritance can be honored, transformedand activated within contemporary art spaces.
For those who are not able to physically attend the sessions, BEMAC Discussions will be live streamed on BEMAC’s Facebook page facebook.com/BEMACpresents
Following the panel discussion, the evening will continue with a performance by creative residents ‘Run Free’, an evocative, improvised performance group comprising poetry, music and movement. Led by slam poet Huda The Goddess and multi-instrumentalist Cieavash Arean, and featuring vocals by Rina, music by Amir Reza Vahdati and movement by The Flood, the group will creatively respond to the theme of the panel with their signature raw, authentic expression of personal and collective stories, deeply rooted in their experiences of revolution, identity, and survival. Through their real-time, dynamic collaboration, ‘Run Free’ reminds us that artists are the historians of our communities, daring to share the uncomfortable truths of our world by a fearless pursuit of truth through creativity.
