Alternator Centre for Contemporary Art

Art and activism have always had a close relationship. What is the history of protest art look like and what does it look like today?

Protest art has a long history that is aligned to various issues of social justice and activism. It can be found on our streets, news and social media feeds, and in various forms. Today, protests against systemic racism and discrimination are taking place internationally. Join us for a discussion about protest art and what it looks like in the context of social change taking place currently in Canada and globally. Artists and creatives from all disciplines and stages of their careers are welcome to join at one of two ZOOM sessions on Thursday, June 11, 6-7 p.m. and Friday, June 12, 2-3 p.m.Both sessions are free and open to the public. Participation in both sessions is limited to a maximum of eight (8) people. Participants will be provided with a Zoom link to join their session.Alternator Chats are informal sessions are ideal for those who are interested in engaging with each other and Alternator staff about projects that they are continuing, are researching or have started new and can be used as a sounding board for processing your new practices, methods and approaches to your practice, especially during this time of isolation.Please note: As Alternator Chats are active discussions. As such all participants are expected to be active participants in the dialogue. For many artists and creatives, livelihoods, processes for making work, and inspiration have all been upended by COVID-19. Alternator Chat was created in response to the closure of the Alternator's gallery and office as a way to connect with our members and the art community-at-large around different themes and relevant to artists today.For more information about Alternator Chat, visit <a href="http://www.alternatorcentre.com" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">www.alternatorcentre.com</a>.
