Gaining Ground - Expanding Knowledge

Panel Talk | Friday 13th October | 2-4pm

Haworth Art Gallery, Manchester Road, Accrington BB5 2JS

Expanding on research collated from Gaining Ground, curated by Ligaya Salazar, this panel conversation will be centred around understanding the preservation of craft. The conversation will act as an educational tool to address the “difficulties of preserving craft knowledge – challenged by colonialism, capitalism, global socioeconomic forces, power structures” and what that means to each project.

Hosted by Tiya Dahyabhai and Kim Chin from Crafts Council’s Equity Advisory Council, the panel will feature artists whose projects are represented in the Gaining Ground exhibition. The panel conversation will be an opportunity for the audiences to exchange with each other and with the guest speakers, to share and learn global knowledge and craft methodologies.
