Owais Lightwala and SGS | If you're a dancer, dance!

Thought Residencies

Marcel Stewart is joined by SGS and Owais Lightwala to discuss why being an artist matters, the Massey Commission, capitalism and neo-liberalism, artists as activists, innovation vs conservation, and their Manifesto for NOW. They both raise thought-provoking questions like: are money markets really at fault for artists not being able to make art? What does it mean to produce art today and how are we thinking about that as a sector? We hope you enjoy this conversation as much as Marcel did.
