Architecture Fringe 2021 Opening!

With guests
Rebecca Davies & Anna Francis

Join us as we celebrate the opening of the Architecture Fringe 2021!

We'll be broadcasting live from SWG3 in Glasgow with live interviews, programme highlights and giggles with two of architecture's rising daytime TV stars... 

This event aims to blend a live broadcast with audience participation via Zoom.

Contributors:
Rebecca Davies
Rebecca Davies is an artist working within a participatory practice through illustration, performance and events. Rebecca's work includes People's Bureau in the Elephant & Castle shopping centre which sought to highlight the role and function of public space and the commons and alternative economic cycles of consumption and destruction; and the The Oasis Social Club, a part entertainment venue, part discussion space which incorporated the long British tradition of Working Men's Clubs to act - through humour and warmth - as an arena for debate on serious issues such housing injustice and local government amenity.

Anna Francis
Anna Francis is an artist whose practice aims to rethink city resources through participatory art interventions, curatorial projects and city development. Through this she aims to investigate the impact that artists can have on their environments. Within Anna's practice she creates situations for herself, the public and other artists to explore places differently: often experimenting with leading and instruction by creating manuals, kits or leading guided tours. Recent projects have included garden developments, and currently the transformation of a disused pub into a community space and social enterprise.

Rebecca and Anna collaborate on The Portland Inn Project in Stoke-on-Trent, which creates space that encourages people-led improvement and change within the local area through arts and cultural activity via the revitalisation of the Portland Inn pub.

Security & Accessibility
This event is being hosted live on Zoom and is being recorded for later public access. The Architecture Fringe takes the online safety and security of our guests and audience members seriously. Following best practice, upon registration, you will be sent a Zoom link where the event will commence at the allotted event time. This link is for registrants only. Thank you for your support and for joining us!

This event will feature automated closed captioning which will appear either within the call itself or in a separate window which will sit alongside Zoom. We have requested all contributors to speak slowly and clearly to allow for the captioning to be as accurate as possible. We will also review the closed captioning to ensure it accurately reflects the event when the recording is shared on our YouTube/social media channels.
