Mayfest Talk: It doesn’t have to last forever – public art programming in a changing city

How can artists playfully disrupt and create thrilling new place-based work that is non-permanent and has deeper, more rich community engagement. This lively discussion will offer some radical new ideas around how art in the public realm can help us understand how our city is changing, using MAYK’s current residency project Confluence as a jumping off point.

Featuring contributions from Seth Honnor (Artistic Director of Kaleider), Tanuja Amarasuriya (director and dramaturg working across theatre, film, audio and XR) and Experience Designer, Social Games Practitioner Imwen Eke.

Free to attend, but you’ll need to book your space in advance.

This talk is part of Mayfest: Bristol's international festival of contemporary theatre and live performance, curated and produced by MAYK. Check out the full programme at
