Live Futures: The Future of Work
PERFORMANCE SPACE PRESENTS
LIVE FUTURES will take shape as a series of public conversations and special events that explore the role of art and artists in defining the new civic life we are entering in this year of disruption and change.
Curators Bek Conroy (Marrickville School of Economics) and Emma Webb (Vitalstatistix) converse with artists, social commentators and activists from Australia and the Asia-Pacific, about the transforming nature, organisation and payment of work. Precarity, labour rights and the future of work have enormous relevance to arts workers, and side-by-side artists have much to offer in speculative, creative and strategic thinking around these critical questions for now and the future. Presented in association with Vitalstatistix’s Bodies of Work initiative.

The LIVE FUTURES platform celebrates the insight of artists, as thought leaders and critical players in the new social, cultural and economic paradigms that are being built or renewed in the wake of the pandemic, the protests, the social upheaval and transformation we are experiencing.
What kind of world are we moving into? What kind of world do we want to create? And what is the role of art in getting us there? The LIVE FUTURES conversations will complement the voices of artists with those of academics, health professionals, and experts from other disciplines in order to dive deeply into the possibilities of our future world.
