Loughborough University-Public Domestic Symposium

Join us for a day of discussions with leading researchers from arts and anthropology to explore the crossovers and distinctions within these two areas of inquiry.Curated by artist Emma Smith, this one day symposium will expand on ideas and issues addressed in Public Domestic, a project commissioned by Radar in which she explores the domestic environments of university life as spaces of exchange and knowledge production. The day will seek to reflect on the domestic as a site of agency and investigate, through visual anthropology, verbatim theatre and participatory practises, the ethics and methodologies of making the private public. The symposium will also include a screening of Our Autonomous Life, a ‘cooperative sitcom’ initiated by Casco.
