Panel discussion: Shifting mindsets through the arts

Have I made an impact? How do we know when the arts has shifted people’s mindsets?

Artists often aspire to provoke thought, inspire change and challenge perspectives. But how do we do this, and how do we know when this intangible impact has happened?

This panel brings together experienced artists from diverse fields to explore the complex interplay between the arts and audiences. By delving into real world experiences and challenges, panelists will discuss how they convince new audiences instead of just 'preaching to the choir' and what they look for to know that they have achieved a genuine mindset shift, as well as cultivating a deeper understanding of the dynamic between artists and audience.
