The Altermodern Manifesto suggests that today’s artists are responding to a ‘new globalised perception’, moving away from art generated by personal cultural identity. Yara El-Sherbini, an artist associated with LADA, uses popular culture and humour as a site through which to playfully explore these shifting territories of contemporary art practice. During this lunchtime lecture El-Sherbini will host an extracted version of a live art piece based on the quintessentially British pub quiz format, showing that an artist’s practice can be rooted in individual origins whilst engaging with a plurality of cultural influences.
