Join three artists, including Austin Stewart, ISU assistant professor of art and visual culture, for a live-streamed discussion of how their work relates to environmental, agricultural and biological activism. The event is part of the Trinity College Dublin Students' Union Activism Festival and will be live-streamed from Dublin.

What role do the arts play in activism? How are artists contributing to contemporary debates on everything from climate change to land use? When debating future policies, are artists uniquely placed to push our imagination and question futures that appear inevitable or ambitions that seem impossible? These questions and more will be addressed.
