The next speaker in our ARTFUL talks series is Sunshine Wong, art worker, researcher, facilitator and Director of Bloc Projects.

In this talk, Sunshine Wong will offer a moment of taking stock, of considering the resources it has taken for Sheffield's Bloc Projects to survive and of the energy it takes to continually swim upstream.

From an examination of the everyday minutiae to broader reflections of what is typically thought of as the drudgery of administration, this talk candidly presents the cost and the labour – both personal and professional – involved in keeping smaller, more radical art organisations afloat.

There will be an open conversation at the end to talk through what moving from surviving to flourishing could look like for artists and organisations alike.

*About the series*

The aim of the ARTFUL lunchtime talks series is to bring together students, postgraduate researchers and staff to showcase our culture of vibrant research and creative practice across the school and beyond.

Taking place on Monday during term time, speakers will include researchers, artists and practitioners.

Whilst primarily aimed at our school community, anyone interested in the series is welcome to join us. There is no need to book – just turn up!
