Over the summer the In Practice: Andy Warhol series invited three artists to share and explore their practices. Each reflected on the work of Andy Warhol. As the final part of the series, we re-invite those artists and speakers to reflect collectively on their practices. They will question the role of the artist in caring for the communities they engage with through their work.
Taking Andy Warhol’s Ladies and Gentlemen series as a starting point, this panel discussion will explore the details of ethics, positionality, and the occupation of space. It will look to unpack the tensions between visibility, value exchange and the perceived limits of activism within art spaces.
This opportunity is for Tate Collective members only.
