London, this one's for you!

Art/Film's international tour arrives in the UK in June — and we want you there.

Our Editor-in-Chief UMNIA and contributor Frankie Mara will both be on the panel, alongside Art/Film editor Shelby Cooke, filmmaker and critic Orla Smith, and film and cultural critic Haaniyah Awale Angus.

The conversation will cover how art media appear on screen and shape visual storytelling, how the panelists combine writing and artmaking, and how accessible the film criticism industry is for women and non-binary people. It promises to be a genuinely good evening.
