Cezanne was working to find new ways to express himself amidst societal shifts and the industrial revolution. In this event you will hear from leading artists, academics and industry specialists who are finding new ways of being in the current landscape.
Speakers will share their new modes of creative expression and thinking. These will touch on technological advances, artificial intelligence and how we might envision being in future: post pandemic with global temperatures rising, and a recession looming.
The panellists include Ramon Amaro, Alexandra Daisy Ginsberg and Marco Marchesi and the event will be chaired by Michael Raymond.
