Join a discussion about artists making autobiographical work on pain and trauma. Hosts Martin O’Brien, Mele Broomes and Amelia Stubberfield will open up conversation about the tense line between raising visibility and exploitation, and ask whether there is such a thing as competitive trauma.
We’ll be in the Williams Lounge. To find it, take the stairs or the lift down to level –1.
