Public Exposures:
the art-activism of Condé and Beveridge

The Public Exposures symposium (May 27, 28, 29) brought together participants from diverse communities and working sectors -- practicing artists, community activists, union members, educators and students. Inspired by Condé and Beveridge’s innovative art, and their strategic activism, the broad aims of the symposium were:

* To reflect on issues and strategies that they and many others are engaging -- specifically in the areas of artists’ rights, and art and labour -- and more broadly around needs for social, economic, and environmental justice.
* To energize grassroots collaborations -- renewing/strengthening existing links -- seeding new possibilities for artists and activists working in the public sphere.

Introductions by Jim Miller and Min Sook Lee; and Caroline Langill. Keynote... address by:
* Barb Byers: Secretary Treasurer of the Canadian Labour Congress, and board member for the Workers Arts & Heritage Centre.

art-activism panel moderated by Don Bouzek. Presentations by:
* Dot Tuer: theorist and historian, OCAD University, Toronto.
* Loraine Leeson: art & community, Middlesex University, London, UK.
* Leaf Watson and Sanjit Dhillon: curators of the contemporary response to Beveridge & Condé's "It's Still Privileged Art 1976," OCAD University, Toronto.
