Media Talks
The Media Talks at Manchester School of Art consist of a series of six conversations between researchers and students in the Media Department and six world-leading practitioners. Each conversation is loosely framed by the themes Maintaining Creativity and Challenging Uncertainty, and each is aimed to provoke an immediacy and relevance for students working in the Coronavirus landscape. Cumulatively and tangentially these conversations will address some of the burning socio-political issues of our time, placing students at the forefront of a discourse which is likely to fuel their professional ambitions for years to come.
‘Media Talk: Andrea Arnold’ is part of our event strand Maintaining Creativity
