Clayton Windatt: Right Before the Storm & Articulating the Dream

221A hosts visiting Artist Clayton Windatt for a day of arts community discussion, strategization, and visioning. As an advocate for labour rights and equitable compensation within the cultural sector, Clayton promotes “Cultural Security” as a strategic framework.

“Right Before the Storm” (2:00-5:00PM) is a sectoral discussion for artist community groups, collectives, and artist-run centres. Join Clayton in a critical discussion on marginalization, activism, contemporary arts boundaries, and dedicating time to troublemakers. Our objective is to strategize, forge alliances, and build collective capacity to move beyond dialogue and into the mechanics of aligning artistic labour with our various crises. 

Articulating the Dream: A Community Manifestos Workshop (6:00-8:00PM) is a community workshop, where participants will draft declarations towards a healing city and render visions of a collaborative future built on communal care and ecological restoration. It is an opportunity for us to find common ground in our shared hopes for the future. After the workshop, declarations will be documented and embedded onto dioramas for Clayton’s upcoming project, micro-contexts, ensuring that community voice is literally built into the architecture.

🍵 Light refreshments will be served at both events.
