CREATIVE TIME SUMMIT 2018 On Archipelagos and Other Imaginaries: Collective Strategies to Inhabit The World.  Event

Creative Time Summit is an annual convening for thinkers, dreamers and doers working at the intersection of art and politics. The 11th Creative Time Summit held in Miami this year will be live screened for the first time at Winchester School of Art. 

The topics under discussion will range from immigration and borders to climate realities, notions of intersectional justice, gentrification, tourism as an enabler for neocolonialism, and the role arts and activism can play in all these pressing issues. 

We have invited Bristol based art and research collective The Association of the Unknown Shore (Kayle Brandon, Dr Angela Piccini) to work with us alongside the live screening. There will be a Replica Narwhale Tusk casting workshop for Fine Art and PhD students in the morning, and Kayle and Angela will present their project responding to the themes of the summit alongside the live screening in the afternoon in collaboration with the Talking Heads programme. 

The Association of the Unknown Shore is a growing group of Inuit, British, and Canadian curators, artists, museum & gallery professionals, members of St Stephens Church, Bristol and university researchers. They are critically and culturally responding to Martin Frobisher’s 16th-century voyages to Nunavut, in northern Canada. As part of the process they are working with various entangled, human and non-human threads to produce an in-progress work that acknowledges the legacy of the lives of the three Inuit brought to Bristol in 1577, lives that are entwined with the past, present and future of the city.
