ISF2024: Artist Roundtable: Connecting Black and Brown Culture Makers

A dedicated gathering for artists, curators and cultural producers who self-identify as South Asian and/or Black, invited to gather and share points of connection and solidarity. This facilitated dialogue aims to create space for meaningful relationship building and thoughtful discussion.

Providing a unique industry space away from the white gaze, this roundtable allows participants to explore critical questions that influence our cultural landscapes:

• How can artistic and cultural programming actively challenge the dominant narrative?
• What are the possibilities for our work within ‘mainstream’ art spaces versus creating our own distinct spaces?
• What supports do our communities need to build stronger connections and solidarity with each other?

This event will conclude with a networking opportunity for attendees to continue their conversations, deepen relationships, and collaboratively envision the future of our cultural spheres.

Light lunch will be provided.

The ticket price is a refundable deposit to reserve your space for the event. When you arrive for the roundtable, you'll be given the option of getting $25/$50 refunded to you, or you can receive a tax receipt for $25/$50. If you choose not to attend, you will not be eligible for a refund.

In choosing the $50 price point, you will be sponsoring the attendance of someone who is facing financial barriers to providing the deposit.

FAQs

Which type of ticket should I purchase?

All ISF2024 events offer subsidized tickets for individuals facing financial barriers in accessing arts programming (subject to availability).

Ask yourself:

• Are you and your family homeowners or landowners?
• Have you attended private education, or have an advanced degree?
• Can you easily access and afford healthcare services?
• Do you have no debt and/or have disposable income?

If your answers were all ‘Yes’ please consider the Pay It Forward Admission price point. This allows us to offer our subsidized tickets to audience members in need.

Your answers were mostly ‘Yes’ or evenly split - we suggest the General Admission price point.

If your answers were majority or all ‘No’, we suggest the Subsidized Admission price point (subject to availability and offered across all of our ticketed events).
