Book your free ticket for tomorrow's Futures Forum
Posted: 06/07/2022
Futures Forum is back tomorrow evening and you’re invited to join us as guest host, multi-disciplinary artist Mahshid Alavi, discusses art and identity as an artist of the global majority*.
Futures Forum #3: Is art tied to our identities? Will look into how our culture impacts our work. Drawing on her own personal experiences of trying to share their history and culture with arts audiences through their work, Mahshid will discuss the fear of being judged and pose the question ’in order to reach your audience, are you willing to compromise?’
Futures Forum #3: Is art tied to our identities? will take place on Thursday 7th July 6pm – 8pm.
The session is free to attend and will take place online via Zoom.
*Futures Forum is open to people of the global majority only.
*A note on terminology
- Global Majority is a collective term that first and foremost speaks to and encourages those so-called to think of themselves as belonging to the global majority. It refers to people who are Black, Asian, Brown, dual-heritage, indigenous to the global south, and or have been racialised as ‘ethnic minorities’
- As an organisation we have joined the movement to reject the acronym BAME as this state- manufactured term flattens and depoliticises global solidarity between people with a lived experiences of racism.
- We acknowledge the term ‘people of global majority’ as it is factually true with over 80% of the world’s population making up the global majority of non-white peoples.
- We acknowledge language is fluid and evolving and aim to ensure our use of language remains inclusive and inoffensive.
