In the third webinar in this series of four global exchanges hosted by Arts Council Malta, identity politics takes centre stage with conversations edging in from the margins. Cultural expression in as much diversity as possible will permeate reflections on gender, community-driven projects, youth participation and international networking, particularly in relation to Mexico and Central and South America, thanks to Luanda Smith; academic research and discussion, activism, new social and economic relations emerging in the cultural sector due to the fight against racism, Black Lives Matter and other aspects of social justice in the US thanks to Antonio Cuyler; and female representation, civic participation and rights rooted in contemporary migrant communities in Malta thanks to Regine Psaila.
Join us on Thursday 16 September at 18:00 CET on Zoom. The general audience will be able to contribute to this 60-minute webinar session by joining through this link https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_f1t6gkccS3CmNO42gXi16Q and send comments and questions during the live chat section.
