From Avant Garde to Afongad – A Happening

Dr Sarah Pogoda and Welsh Art Group NWK (Neue Walisische Kunst - New Welsh Art) invite you to join in an exploration of the artistic Avant Garde in North Wales, past, present and future. Learn how artists in Wales have developed subversive strategies to enhance the experience of arts and life. Have a go at being part of an Avant Garde ‘happening’ and collectively perform an autopsy on 'The Golden Buoy' (a locally significant art object), in order to investigate the "Death of the Avant Garde", once famously announced by, critic and theorist, Peter Buerger. Explore the ways in which the energy of the Avant Garde can be revived to help us on the journey to our own artistic adventures.

This event is suitable for ages 16+. 

This event is part of Bangor University's Festival Hub.
