Podcast 39: Defending Arts and Culture in Brighton: An emergency Panel

The City of Brighton and Hove is renowned for its breathtaking contributions to art and culture. The many artistic and cultural groups, events and their interplay with the universities and other organisations help make Brighton a unique city to live in. The recent closure of the CCA at Brighton University, the proposed compulsory redundancies that look set to decimate the humanities at the University of Brighton, as well as more general issues around cuts, funding, and a cost-of-living crisis seriously threaten the artistic achievements of this city as a whole. For this very reason we are organising an emergency panel discussion and conversation aimed at bringing together an array of artists, art groups and organisations, independent researchers and anyone who contributes to, or benefits from, the cultural make-up of this city.

The Panel include: Cath James: Artistic Director at South East Dance. Lucy Day is the Executive Director at Phoenix Art Space. John Marchant: John Marchant’s Gallery (The John Marchant Gallery) The panel will be hosted by Bradley Tuck. Bradley Tuck is a researcher, writer, filmmaker, performer and the Founder of Exploding Appendix.
