Breaking Bread: On Otherness

Lancaster Arts Lancaster University, Lancaster, United Kingdom

Following a series of conversations with a diverse group of artistic practitioners, we invite you to join us as we begin an attempt at redefining belonging and otherness. In the spirit of embracing the multiplicity, complexity and in-between-ness of our identities, we host an event that is neither a working lunch, nor a symposium, nor a performance. Though it may be all of these things.
