Free panel discussion on the role of artists in reconciliation, tolerance and dialogue, chaired by Dr Katy Radford.
Arts in Contested Spaces is a panel discussion taking place at The MAC on Saturday 24 October, and it's one of those conversations that feels particularly suited to Belfast. The session looks at the role of artists in reconciliation, tolerance and dialogue—the kind of ground where creative work often steps in when other ways of talking have run dry. It's chaired by Dr Katy Radford, so there's a steady hand on the conversation rather than it just running loose.
If you've spent any time around the city's arts scene, you know the MAC is a contemporary culture centre that builds its programme around accessibility. That's a good thing to keep in mind here, because the line-up they put on usually ranges from comedy and dance to talks and workshops, so this panel sits right in the middle of that mix. It's not a closed-door academic thing; it's open to anyone who wants to hear the discussion.
