Abstract: Join artists Esmond Lee, Ebti Nabag, and Kachely Peters as they present on their socially- engaged work and together discuss why they make art, why you matter to them as an audience, and what they hope to achieve. The conversation will be introduced and facilitated by Doris McCarthy Gallery Executive Director and Chief Curator, Ann MacDonald, and there will be time for questions from the audience.
Ann MacDonald: is the Executive Director and Chief Curator of the Doris McCarthy Gallery. She is honoured to work and to continually learn alongside artists and creatives who are building worlds within the walls of the gallery but also extending their messaging into communities.
