This event is inspired by the philosophy of ‘Ubuntu’, relating to human kindness and shared creativity. An exhibition, a walking tour, a talk and the creation of a collaborative artwork will help to create a unique experience themed around global citizenship and the idea of ‘community’ that will shine a light on the ways in which social sciences and the creative arts can come together.

 
The visual artist and poet, Mary Courtney will take you on a walking tour. You can engage with the creation of a collaborative artwork with Kerry Morrison, an environmental artist, and with a talk by Vanessa de Oliveira Andreotti: Canada Research Chair in Race, Inequalities and Global Change, at the Department of Educational Studies, University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada.
