Curating the coast - front line or forgotten edge?

10am, an40 Assembly Blackpool: The Coast is Queer

How are curators researching and thinking about the coast, or water's edge as a platform for developing opportunities for artists and each other? And what does tossing the rule book do to enhance cultural experiences of difference?

A panel discussion chaired by Matt Retallick (Independent Curator, Liverpool), with George Vasey (Curator and Writer, Saltburn-on-Sea); Mariama Attah (Curator, Open Eye Gallery, Liverpool), Garth Gratrix (Founder, Abingdon Studios, Blackpool), Rosie Osborne (Founder, The New St Ives School) and Ben Borthwick (Head of Creative Programming, KARST, Plymouth).
