Expand

During these unprecedented times of physical distance and uncertainty, it is important to remember to laugh! Artists have long used comedy as a tool for challenging societal norms and to shed light on more serious issues, bringing communities together to laugh and cry, while considering the nuances of what it means to be human.

In this edition of Art Connects, we will explore the relationship between art and humour with performance artists Ese Atawo and Courtenay Mayes. Together, they will discuss their practices, before Atawo moves into a hip-hop comedy performance as her alter-ego, Lil’ Clitty.

Please note that this program will contain some mature language that may not be suitable for all audiences.
