'Techniques of Art and Protest' was a one-day conference organised by the PLANK network, a group concerned with art and activism, and coordinated by several early career academics in London. I spoke on a panel entitled 'Art, Politics and Labour' with Btihaj Ajana and Emanuele Braga.
This was one of several public presentations I prepared in late 2015 on the subject of 'representation production' in visual art social practice, motivated by a concern that the ways in which projects are sometime mediated are often entirely at odds with the political and aesthetic force of the projects themselves.
