The BLEED Symposium is a collection of talks, panels, a keynote and an online party that coalesce the ideas and key curatorial enquiries of the 2022 program.
How is digital sovereignty enacted for First Nations people online?
What are the boundaries between artistic and institutional practice?
What are we hoping for in the next era of digital flux?
How do we gather, find joy and comfort in the online worlds and communities we find ourselves in.
Join us for two days, one night at the BLEED Symposium.
The BLEED Symposium program is now live and ready for you to explore here.
