BEMAC Discover #9

Join us on Monday May 27 for BEMAC Discover, an open mic night to celebrate the importance of art, music and creativity in our lives and our community. This space will focus on sharing and testing out new work! We invite artists from all backgrounds and languages to showcase and share! Entry is free… bring your instrument, poem, monologue or dance and sign up to take part in the open mic at the door on arrival!

This event will follow BEMAC Discussions: Can Multiculturalism be taken seriously in the Arts?, a free panel discussion about the notion of multiculturalism in the context of the arts in Australia. Is it relevant? Does it allow for meaningful and respectful engagement? Can it be taken seriously in the context of arts programming? Featuring Sebastian Flynn, Jenae Tien Jenkins, Zulya Kamalova (The Boite, Victoria), James E McKinnon (MAV, Victoria) and Eyal Chipkiewicz (Moderator).
