ART OF DISSENT 2002
Adelaide, 8-9 March 2002
Melbourne, 14-16 October 2002
A MESSAGE FROM LEFT LINK
Dear Left Linkers,
We would like to take this opportunity to invite you to attend a two
part symposium to be presented at the Adelaide Festival in March and at
the Melbourne Festival in October, 2002.
Please circulate this email to any of your colleagues you think may be
interested.
--- ABOUT ART OF DISSENT---
At a time when so much in our lives is uncertain - both here and
overseas, and the challenges our humanity faces are so immense, we think
it is time to host a national arts symposium where the discourse is set
exclusively in a social and cultural context; where economic
considerations are suspended - if only briefly. We want to acknowledge
the function of "dissent" as an essential ingredient in any democracy
and especially crucial in the quest towards cultural democracy. We want
to explore the arts=B9 connection with communities in all their
diversity and with the prevailing social issues that face us all.
Through all of human history artists have been at the forefront of
social change, challenging as well as reflecting, contemporary
realities. These days, with the impact of globalisation, massive
technological change, and the consequent challenges these present to
environmental and social sustainability, we need our artists more than
ever to help chart a more humane future, and to help us build closer
links with each other and with our planet.
In recent years, discussion and debate within the arts "industry" has
increasingly focussed on essentially structural, economic elements.
Conferences in the sector examine the creation of arts "product",
develop strategies to penetrate new "markets" and advocate the role of
artists as "value-adders" to corporate or government programs. The Art
of Dissent will take a larger view. It will encourage a freer and more
courageous debate about the role of the arts in society.
We are delighted that two of the country's flagship arts festivals -
both with a record of commitment to community works - have joined us in
developing the Art of Dissent program. All we need now is for you to
join us and offer your ideas. To find out more stay in touch with us via
our website http://www.ArtOfDissent.com

--- SYMPOSIUM FORMAT ---
ADELAIDE PROGRAM
The venue and order of events all contribute to the overall feel and
passion of the event. The Masonic Centre hall will be arranged cabaret
style, including a cafe area.
At 10am on Friday, 8th March, panelists and audience will be given a
traditional Indigenous Welcome to Country. The panelists in the first
forum, "Can the Arts Change Anything?" will be introduced by Anne Dunn.
Panelists will be given five minutes each to explore their position,
their work and observations in the context of the questions.
The audience will then be invited to explore these issues with those at
their table. Panelists and Ann Dunn will circulate around the room
offering pointers to discussion or clarification if required. During 45
minutes of debate, they will collate key observations, questions and
issues addressing. These will be presented back to the room and the
panel for comment and debate. The second forum, "Confronting
Globalisation" will take a similar format - recognising that each forum
will work its own unique dynamic.
The final forum on Saturday, "Whose Festival?" will be an engaging and
challenging debate. Panelists will have 5 minutes to explore their views
and observations. Clearly debate will range from looking at the
experience of the 2002 Adelaide Festival to implications and
ramifications for other flagship festivals. The bulk of this time will
be vigorous debate from the floor, with comments and views drawn from
audience members as well as the panel. The aim is to make this truly a
dialogue among all those attending.
