Exploring class, access and representation in contemporary art at Turner Contemporary in Margate
1pm - 4pm
Taking place in the Foyle Rooms, this event invites audiences to consider how class continues to shape experiences, opportunities and pathways within the contemporary art world. Developed by Quench Gallery, whose Working Class in the Arts Development Programme supports local artists in navigating barriers related to finance, networks and access, the symposium opens up a wider public conversation around representation and belonging in the sector.
The programme will bring together a number of invited speakers from working-class backgrounds to share personal reflections on their journeys through the arts, followed by a panel discussion and audience Q&A. Together, these conversations will explore the realities of building a career in the arts today and consider how the sector might become more equitable and accessible for future generations.
The symposium will feature contributions from Quench Gallery Co-Director Gemma Pharo, communications consultant and Working Arts Club founder Meg Molloy, artist Jonathan Baldock, and artist and Working Class Creatives founder Seren Metcalfe.
