Join us for the second The Urgency of the Arts Assembly: I WANT YOU TO SPEAK TO ME URGENTLY!

Speakers

Junko Mori

Junko Mori is a Japanese artist based in Wales. The assembling of forged and cast metal is the key to Mori’s work, whether mild steel or almost pure silver. Her observations of tree and plant matter are the driving force behind many of her sculptures which vary in scale from small objects in precious metal through to fairly massive welded steel works of art.

Richard Sennett

Richard Sennett currently serves as Senior Advisor to the United Nations on its Program on Climate Change and Cities. He is Senior Fellow at the Center on Capitalism and Society at Columbia University and Visiting Professor of Urban Studies at MIT. Previously, he founded the New York Institute for the Humanities, taught at New York University and at the London School of Economics, and served as President of the American Council on Work. Over the course of the last five decades, he has written about social life in cities, changes in labour, and social theory.

Bindi Vora

Bindi Vora is an interdisciplinary photographic artist of Kenyan-Indian heritage, associate lecturer at LCC and curator at Autograph, London. She is interested in how ideas of resistance and resilience are influenced by our everyday surroundings. Her practice often combines collage, linguistics, analogue processes, and an archive of found photography procured over the last decade.

Convened by School of Arts and Humanities students and Dr Shehnaz Suterwalla. Presentations will be followed by audience Q&A.
