Michael will speak about their experience with creating collectives and the role that collectives fill in the arts sector, as an alternative to more hierarchical models. Through exploring their past work, they will offer practical tips to start your own collective or collaboration. They will also speak to a variety of models that exist in Canada and share their experience collaborating with international collectives through their collective YTB.

Holly will reflect on centering collective-building and experimentation through her ongoing engagement with collectives. As an emerging artist, practicing in collaboration has offered a support network and has led to invaluable opportunities and personal growth for her as an artist.

Wednesday January 17, 2023
