Art Education Panel

A recording of a panel discussion that took place on 22 February 2018 at Firstdraft in collaboration with All Conference.All Conference, Firstdraft and the speakers acknowledge and respects the traditional owners of the land on which Firstdraft is located, the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation.What’s love got to do with it? is the second in a three part multi-state lecture series organised by All Conference. A dominant attitude towards work is that enjoying what one does for a living should be payment enough. Indeed, this is often the justification for the relative low wage of arts workers. This leg of the All Conference lecture series brings together three arts workers who operate in very different ways within the not-for-profit sector in Australia and New Zealand. Through a series of short papers, speakers will bring their own perspective to the relationship between love and labour in the arts. Papers will be followed by a short Q and A chaired by Firstdraft Director Katie Winten.This discussion has been brought together by All Conference, a recently established organising network of small-scale, artist-run organisations.All Conference, Firstdraft and the speakers acknowledge and respects the traditional owners of the land on which Firstdraft is located, the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation.

WHAT'S LOVE GOT TO DO WITH IT? LOVE, LABOUR AND CONTEMPORARY ART

Firstdraft is where the future of contemporary art emerges, through a program that is current, critical, ambitious, challenging and experimental. Firstdraft acknowledges and pays respect to the Gadigal people of the Eora nation, the traditional custodians of the land on which Firstdraft is built and operates.
