Festival of Ideas: Cultural Recovery
Thu 26 May 2022
Join a panel including Eliane Glaser (author of Elites: A Progressive Defence), Gilane Tawadros (writer, curator and Chief Executive of DACS: the Design and Artists Copyright Society) and Professor Kate O’Riordan (Dean of the School of Media Arts and Humanities, University of Sussex & Co-Chair of ABCD for Cultural Recovery in Brighton & Hove), as they ask what exactly culture needs to recover from?
