Triangle Network Forum – Shaping Grounds

The Triangle Network Forum addresses some of the common challenges that independent art spaces and artist collectives are facing today, in different parts of the world. As a condensed series of talks and discussions, the public Forum introduces new voices and ideas to conversations that have been taking place internally to the Triangle Network over the last few years, as part of the PhD research of Rosie Hermon.

Key subjects explored include: thinking from a position of precarity, leadership and succession planning, operating under censorship, and maintenance – the on-going care for organisations and their structures.  

On Thursday 21 and Friday 22 invited speakers will be addressing these subjects, followed by a plenary discussion with Triangle Network partners on Saturday 23 July. Sessions will be live-streamed via the Triangle Network TV YouTube channel, and available to access in English, Spanish and Mandarin Chinese. This is a free event.
