How does art and design come together with other sectors to create quality and meaningful practice?

What is the future of our art and design practice commissioning and where are the next generation of practitioners best placed to use their art and design in society today?

This year’s MA publication symposium showcases speakers who actively seek out collaborations and co-commissioning of art and design practice, beyond the traditional cultural sector.

We will hear from speakers from across the art and design sector, but also those actively collaborating with and working within areas of archives, health, environmental settings, criminal justice and front-line services as alternative spaces for their creative practice.

Confirmed speakers and workshop facilitators:

  • Almost nothing but blue ground (Matthew Bennington and Tom Pope)
  • Stephen King and Merseyside Fire services
  • Open Eye Gallery
  • Sarah Harley (Novus / HMP education)
  • Holly Temple, graphic designer and content and resource developer for RHS (Royal Horticultural Society)
  • Niki Colclough (break out workshop)
  • Daksha Patel, artist
