Forum on the Arts and Social Justice

29 June 2013

We began with inviting dialogue on the relevance of creative practice for impoverished communites, through spoken word, dance, song and music.  Remnant Dance artists told stories through performances and speakers Lucinda Coleman, Jarrod McKenna and Andrew Rogers offered different perspectives on complex yet engaging issues. A gathering of thoughtful, intelligent audience members asked pertinent questions, made insightful comments and moved the conversation along - so that we all were inspired and challenged to integrate various aspects of our lives in ways both creative and pragmatic.  In the words of our MC Tim Bowles, all we need to know next is 'when is the next Forum?!'   ...a wonderful evening!!
