Abstract

Demanding Conversations was a conference that took place at Knowle West Media Centre, Bristol on 22nd and 23rd September 2010. The conference involved practitioners, artists, policy makers, and commentators in debate about socially engaged arts practice within the visual arts sector.

I was invited to speak about the challenges facing socially engaged practitioners and project facilitators, and if we believe in the work we do, the mind states we need to survive these challenging times.
