Popular Culture, Art and Community Cultural Development Forum
Join writer and artist Tom Cho as he leads a forum on the issues of popular culture and art in Community Cultural Development (CCD).
Artists and CCD workers must engage with popular culture, but doing so is fraught with tension and danger. To ignore it artists risk becoming irrelevant, to embrace it they risk selling out.
Presented by Footscray Community Arts Centre in partnership with the Cultural Development Network, the Popular Culture, Art and Community Cultural Development Forum will be facilitated by Footscray Arts Program Coordinator David Everist.
Interested participants will explore questions including: What attention should artists pay to popular icons, idols, styles and fashions? Should CCD practice challenge popular culture and therefore exist outside of it? Can engagement with popular culture be a way into involving communities in the creative? Could that engagement lead to more subversive and broad based arts practice?
