With For About 2020 - 20 May to 17 June 2020

A slow conference for a fast evolving crisis

In these fast moving times, we need to move both swiftly and slowly. That’s why for this year's annual Heart of Glass conference, we have adapted our intended plans. Working with artist and mental health activist ‘the vacuum cleaner’, curator and agitator Cecilia Wee and a stellar line up of international artists, activists and academics, With For About 2020 creates a vital, slow and complex space between art, activism, care and social practice in response to COVID 19. It wilfully asks - in facing this crisis, another ten years of austerity, ecological collapse, harsher borders, more racism and deeper ableism within deeply divided societies - how can artists, activists and organisations make vital change within our communities and beyond?
With For About 2020 will happen over 5 weeks, lasting one hour each week. Featuring short video provocations, sharings of practice and projects and discussion of various responses by artists and activists, all streamed into your home.
