Born from the pandemic and frustrations at the inequalities that persist, SELFestival is a curated set of online conversations, interventions and art experiences that we intend to inspire and provoke globally. In our second year we will be exploring “the new different”, rather than a normal. Crucially we will be exploring how we can be optimistic for this new future and be active in building the change towards a more inclusive and equitable creative/social economy.

Speakers will include: Dr Harriet Harriss, Dean – Pratt School of Architecture, NY; George Gachara, Founder of HEVA Fund, Nairobi; Stella Duffy, author, London, Professor Vybarr Cregan-Reid, Professor of English and Environmental Humanities. Art interventions include new work from BAFTA winner Ian W Gouldstone.

Curated by Adrian De La Court and Sian Prime and supported by the Institute for Creative and Cultural Entrepreneurship, Goldsmiths, University of London.
