The Aesthetics of Risk: A conversation with Francesa Cavallo and Ksenia Chmutina

29 June | 6 – 7:30pm | YouTube

We’ll be exploring many of the issues at the heart of Radar’s Risk Related project via this conversation between the disasters researcher Ksenia Chmutina and curator Francesca Cavallo. Drawing on artistic works, curation, the urban environment, the politics of disasters and more, the wide-ranging conversation will explore the ways in which artists have approached, used and reformulated ‘risk’. It will ask whether risk produces its own aesthetics, but also whether the aesthetic might be mobilised to rethink risk. 

Radar Producer Laura Purseglove will also provide an introduction to Risk Related and outline the approaches taken by commissioned artists.
