 ASSEMBLIES - Live Online Panel Discussion 16th Dec 6:00pm

ASSEMBLIES first and foremost is a gathering or series of gatherings; a number of productive, exploratory, participatory and public intercessions, shaped to reflect upon the disparate elements that make up the cultural community we live in.

They are designed and programmed to unfold later in 2021 when once again will have the opportunity to congregate and converse. These Assemblies may take a variety of forms but can be thought of as intensive, active, participatory, public and inter-institutional ‘town hall’ meetings, led by individuals from the Irish and international artworld, each exploring the fundamental conditions of art making from their own historical perspectives.<h3>Assemblies Live panel Discussion</h3>Panelists : Cecily Brennan - Artist &amp; ActivistMatt Packer - Director of EVA InternationalJoanne Laws - Writer and Features Editor of The Visual Artists’ News Sheet Siobhán Geoghegan - Director of Common GroundFour esteemed Irish art practitioners, experts in their relative fields of practice will take part in this panel discussion to help us unpack what constituents might be necessary for an active, critical and creative community under four fundamental conditions or rubrics -<ul><li>Artists &amp; Making</li><li>Galleries &amp; Institutions</li><li>Judgment &amp; Criticism</li><li>Art &amp; the Social</li></ul>After the four presentations there will be an open discussion and in our desire to include your voices, to gather digitally, we hope to re-imagine the ‘town hall’ by allowing the attendees to be active in the conversation. In the need to revitalise some social solidarity across our artistic communities after a period of isolation and social distancing we want to invite you to attend and also, if you wish, contribute to the discourses.The full Assemblies Programme will be announced later in 2021.

<h3>Audience Participation</h3>All audience members will have the opportunity to engage in the open discussion once the initial presentations have been held. To ask questions and engage directly in the conversation you can do this by using the chat function on Zoom to ask a question and then the moderator may then invite you on screen to pose your question to the panel. If you wish to participate in the post presentation debate please make sure that you have a good internet link; a functioning camera and microphone and you are suitably lit in order for the moderator to connect you directly into the conversation.Due to time constraints not all questions can be answered but we will do our best to include as many voices to the conversation as possible. This online event will be recorded for the National Sculpture Factory’s digital library and may be hosted on their site for a short period after the date of the live panel discussion.This series is free for all. These talks will take place on Zoom, so we recommend downloading/updating your app ahead of time to prevent delays in joining the webinar. There with be time allocated at the end of each presentation for Q+A with our online audience.
