The William Morris Resurrection

A panel of experts
Two Aliens
One Universe 
One Question 
Should artists change the world? 

Join us for the debate of the ages, where we discuss why artists can’t stop trying to save the world…

Imagine if William Morris woke up 140 years in the future like the hero of his science fiction novel News from Nowhere… 

Would he find the creative utopia he had dreamed of or would he be bitterly disappointed by the state of the world and of the arts community in particular?

Join us and arts professionals from all over time and space to explore the role of the artist past, present and future. The event includes the world premiere of a new short film by William Galinsky & John Rogers -  THINGS TO DO IN DEBDEN WHEN YOU’RE DEAD - featuring Miriam Elia, William Galinsky, Ollie Rogers, Bob & Roberta Smith, Jessica Voorsanger, an alien who thinks he’s Antony Gormley and a miniature Rutger Hauer. The event includes contributions from some of the UK’s most vibrant artistic minds as well as some light relief at the end of an action packed Art Assembly.

This event is presented as part of Art Assembly, a one-day festival to explore how art can make a difference.
