Viva! Collectives and Collaboration

Two artists will take us on a tour of some of the exhibited works by the Cuban collective Los Carpinteros, as they engage in a dialogue that looks at art, politics and humour.

Artists Alex Schady and David Burrows both work extensively with collectives and collaboration in their practices, in ways that address the political and the satirical.

For this event these two artists will take us on a tour of some of the exhibited works by the Cuban collective Los Carpinteros, as they engage in a dialogue that looks at art, politics and humour.
