West Space
Art as Propaganda – Walk and Talk
Join West Space for a walk around Collingwood Yards with artist Emily Hubbard and art historian Elyssia Bugg. They will discuss Hubbard’s work in relation to Keith Haring’s 1984 mural.
Part art historical and part geopolitical, this walk and talk will cover Hubbard’s exploration of American Pop art within an Australian context, and the government-supported import of American values here through Modern art and popular culture since the 1970s. Within this, Hubbard and Bugg will draw out ideas of public art and its influence, as well as its political instrumentalisation.
