ArtsLink Assembly: Radical Hospitality

Resilience and thriving strategies for 2020 and beyond.

Produced With
Thursday 15 October to Friday 13 November

The ArtsLink Assembly convened artists, thinkers, organizations, and activists to explore resilience and thriving strategies for art and artists in the (post)-pandemic world in a series of online events and discussions livestreamed on the global, commons-based peer produced HowlRound TV network at howlround.tv Thursday and Fridays, 15 October to 13 November 2020.

This year, we focus on the current need to re-imagine how we connect with and support our fellow citizens across neighborhoods, countries, and continents. The upheavals of the pandemic have brought this need to the fore. How can artists help us to think and act beyond walls and borders? What actions can we take individually and collectively, nationally and transnationally to welcome and support each other? What can radical hospitality look like and how do we practice and promote it?
