>> Grasssroots approaches to consent in burlesque - Jacki Willson (University of Leeds)
>> Navigating creative space with The Consent Compass – Jenn Wilson
and more...
Whether you join us online or you can come to Leeds and take part in person, WE WANT YOU THERE: You are invited to contribute to authoring a Manifesto for Consent Culture in the Arts, prompted by the provocations from speakers

Founded by Irregular Jenn Wilson in 2018,
30th November
is now recognised globally
as the annual date to focus on CONSENT as a practice for connection and tool for making positive social change
>> Are you an artist, performer, producer, writer, arts leader or practitioner that cares about social justice and change?
>> Want a more meaningful connection with your audiences and visitors, or with other artists and creatives?
>> Tired of safeguarding, access and inclusion policies that tick a box but don't really work?
>> Keen to make or show arts with powerful, emotional, impact and also take care of the artists and the audiences?
Come along to listen and join the discussion on what the arts would look like
without coercion, bullying, entitlement or assumptions
*Session will run 11am-4pm with a break for lunch from 1-2pm – please bring your own lunch
