Networking Day 2019: Hammad Nasar and Mary McCarthy

Video

In the context of the Decade of Commemorations and how Ireland’s struggle for independence played out very vividly in Cork, we chose to close Networking Day 2019 with a discussion about the notion of commemoration and the symbolic role of public art. We were joined by Hammad Nasar, initiator of Let Our Statues Speak project, to reflect on questions of memory and whose history gets written in or out of the urban fabric in broader processes of commemoration. Hammad was in conversation with Mary McCarthy, Director of the Crawford Art Gallery.

Practice and Power Keynote talk: Jeanne Van Heeswijk

Video by Jeanne Van Heeswijk

Jeanne van Heeswijk is an artist who facilitates the creation of dynamic and diversified public spaces in order to “radicalize the local.” Her long-term community-embedded projects question art’s autonomy by combining performative actions, discussions, and other forms of organising and pedagogy in order to assist communities to take control of their own futures. Drawing on two major projects Freehouse: Radicalising the Local in Rotterdam (2008 – ongoing), and the more recent Philadelphia Assembled (2015-2017 and ongoing), Jeanne explores key questions relating to power and practice from the artist’s perspective. This keynote was the opening talk of Practice and Power.
