Risk Talkers

Lecture, forum, workshop and residency program

Risk Talkers presents a lively series of discussions and public programs that explore the 2010 Next Wave Festival and its theme, No Risk Too Great. Risk Talkers includes a series of keynote lectures, discussion forums, skills-based workshops and a two-week artist-residency. These programs will explore how artists in the Festival have responded to the theme, whilst also inviting new voices into the discussion from diverse backgrounds and disciplines, further connecting the artists’ projects with a broader conversation about risk, in Australian culture and globally.
