Art Basel in Basel&nbsp;2024, June 12

The politics of artmaking

Mandy El-Sayegh, Artist, London Kendell Geers, Artist, Brussels Moderator: Kimberly Bradley, Conversations Curator, Art Basel
How do artists whose practices are considered sociopolitical address current conflicts and their ripple effects? What tangible impact can, could, or should ‘political’ art have now, if any, and how can practitioners best develop their artistic visions and make positive change – as artists, or citizens – in the face of precarious public funding, (self)-censorship, nationalism, and cancel culture? A discussion on the urgency and the registers with which artists respond to the shifting worlds and systems around them.
