For the second webinar in Bloc Projects' series, Harsh Light, Angela Chan (Worm: art + ecology) and Farah Ahmed (Diaspora Dialogues for Our Futures) will talk together about the intersection of climate activism and the arts in the UK.

"The speakers are steeped in both worlds and are having an ongoing conversation about the challenges of merging the two in different ways.

Amongst other things, Angela and Farah will explore bringing activism into art production, the disconnect of the art world from decolonisation and movement organising, and the problematic curation of climate emergency."

"The series feels through reverberations of different kinds in 2020: of pandemic, social insurrections, and arts sector strategy. Harsh Light explores the discrepancies between arts sector frameworks and arts worker lives through conversation. In other words, how do practitioners feel about the art world(s) projected for us by ACE? And how do we, in fact, live out and imagine these worlds from our respective points of view?"
