Under the title "Artists and social issues," Sandra Smets and Esther Didden will give the BK lecture during Art Rotterdam on Friday morning, February 10, at 11 a.m. The lecture ties in with the new podcast series on artists and social issues that BK-informatie is publishing under the title Wat doet dat hier? During the lecture, Sandra Smets explains how artists' practices relate to social issues in which art can play a role. Where is the seed for this kind of art?

She will talk about what has caught her eye so far - at the time of the lecture, three of the ten episodes have been published - and what we can still expect in upcoming episodes. A few tickets are still available (gone = gone).
