Signs of Time at the Bondi Pavillion

I’ve been working on a little project with French poet Ambrosia and videographer John Montgomery. It is being shown at the refurbished Bondi Pavillion this Sunday 2nd October and the following Sunday the 9th October. It’s free, so hope you can check it out. It’s on a loop so you can drop in any time in the windows outlined below.

UNE Creative and Cultural Arts Network Symposium – University of New England (UNE)

Since the Harvey Weinstein scandal erupted in 2017, the so-called “#MeToo movement” has brought a number of powerful men in the arts and cultural industries to account for sexual assault allegations. Some of these men were found guilty, while others had their names (controversially) cleared; all arguably now exist in a post-“Me Too” landscape.

This symposium will explore how a reconsideration of gender-based harassment and sexual abuse might reconfigure how we approach making, thinking about, and teaching arts and culture. Do concerns over consent and power liberate artists, or encourage a new cultural puritanism? Alternatively, is systemic inequality and abuse a far deeper problem than a hashtag and some high-profile court cases?
