Adelaide Festival Centre’s GreenRoom presents ‘Talk Your Arts Off – Youth, Art, Spirituality and John Safran!’

A panel discussion around the 59th Blake Prize exhibition opening, discussing “Ways in which youth communicate their own spirituality in today’s world and do the arts play a role?”

This free forum will consist of a panel hosted by media personality John Safran that is sure to be a candid, robust yet humorous and often raucous discussion on the relevance that the arts, both performing and visual arts play in a contemporary setting in young peoples’ lives, and whether their spirituality has changed shape with the struggle to find meaning in life with so much choice in this global, consumerist world.

Sound heavy? Don’t be fooled! With Safran around it’s sure to be anything but dull and boring!!

RSVP essential! Email thegreenroom@adelaidefestivalcentre.com.au by 3 November. Please indicate if you will be coming to both the opening and the forum.
