Birkbeck Voices 32, June 2015: Arts Week 2015 (Part 2)

This year’s Birkbeck Arts Week, held at the School of Arts from 18 to 23 May, was a huge success, with members of the public flocking to see, and take part in, a packed programme of lectures, workshops, performances and screenings. Following up on the last Arts Week special podcast, Birkbeck Voices made it along to 43 Gordon Square during the week itself to experience the buzz at a handful of events. Here’s the line-up for the podcast: • We spoke to Dr Jaqueline Riding, Birkbeck alumna and historical consultant about her work on Mike Leigh’s highly acclaimed movie, Mr. Turner • This is followed by some reaction from participants at the Visual Artists Today Symposium • And we wrap up with a few words from Dr Rosie Cox who spoke at the Gendering Austerity symposium For more information about: • Arts Week 2015 - www.bbk.ac.uk/artsweek • Dr Jaqueline Riding - www.jacquelineriding.com • Dr Rosie Cox - http://ow.ly/NIDA0
