Sharing the privilege: How to diversify voices in the arts in Belfast

One of the questions that is hoped to address through this seminar is how to diversify voices in the arts in Northern Ireland. Minority communities in Northern Ireland often face distinct challenges integrating into this traditionally insular, white, often sectarian population. Trying to build an arts career in Northern Ireland is difficult, with few opportunities to gain experience or develop networks.

Exploring Equity, Diversity and Inclusion issues and creating a roadmap for organisational change is essential to the work of Golden Thread Gallery. This event will be an open conversation with key individuals on how to properly diversify Golden Thread Gallery’s programme, stories, and the people telling them. These key individuals will include curators, artists and cultural leaders who might share their lived experiences and clarify the bias and structural challenges to be overcome.

Please note, this seminar is by invite only.
