Session time:

Saturday 16 April, 2.00 – 3.30 pm

Should taxpayer money be spent on 'controversial' art? Is political art compromised by taking money from the government? Ginger Gorman hosts a conversation between Mark Fletcher and [TBC] that examines the media flurry that emerged around Kill Climate Deniers, and unpacks some of the hyperbole at the intersection of art and politics.

Artists: Ginger Gorman, Mark Fletcher, Bernie Slater
