On the anniversary of Arcola closing its doors due to Covid-19, hear from campaigners and join us for a discussion on the future of the arts. What impact has the pandemic, and the UK’s exit from the EU, had on our arts sector? What can we do to ensure it recovers fully and fairly – and how might it be different?

Hear from Sally Beck Wippman (Freelancers Make Theatre Work), Giovanni Bienne (Chair of LGBT+ Committee for Equity), Lora Krasteva (Migrants in Theatre), and Mei Mac (Public Campaign for the Arts, Rising Waves).

Arcola’s series of free, online discussions, #ArcolaConversations, provide a chance to reconnect with the community, explore big ideas and imagine the future together at this time of historic upheaval.

This discussion took place on Monday 15 March 2021.
