ART HAS NO GENDER

Supporting female creatives is of integral importance to Brisbane Street Art Festival. Art Has No Gender is a female panel discussion that is set to articulate the problem that is; women positioned within the arts industry. We will hear from a number of different perspectives – artists, curators, directors and producers, and share the space with questions welcomed. We invite you to support, learn and bring an open mind to the discussion topic. This discussion is suggested to be a strong protest to support fellow women alongside each other to speak about who they are as professionals, not females.
Drinks will be available at the La Boite bar before and after the discussion. The panel will start at 7:30 PM
