The About Art Programme

All the workshops, discussions and lectures in this informal programme are aimed at accommodating people keen to learn more about art in a relaxed interactive environment. The subject matter of the workshops is varied, from the legalities involved in copyright-law, to debating photographic ethics, to hands on projects relating to video, digital or performance art.
