A panel discussion considering the work of artists who refuse to be mediated or filtered.
Using these artists as a starting point, panelists will discuss the social and political efficacy of refusal and how it might be used to ensure artists thrive outside our conventional market system. Embodying and producing new forms of value, it will examine the ability of refusal to forge free spaces in our cities unrestricted by the mediation of commerce or technological filters.
