Where have all the social spaces gone? This panel, featuring Wolfgang Tillmans, Anna Minton, Charlie Dark and Dan Hancox, considers their disappearance.

Social spaces have often existed as hubs for subcultures or behaviours considered to be outside of the norm – think of how club culture has often been a place for alternative lifestyles to thrive in many cities across the globe. But now, these spaces are disappearing, thanks to the march of gentrification, the bias of city planning, the fearfulness of social policy, among other reasons.

Bringing together speakers from across the creative world, this panel considers where spaces for freedom still exist, and how we can continue to encourage originality to thrive. A short video provocation from artists Hannah Quinlan and Rosie Hastings​ will open the discussion.
