Whose Opinion Do You Trust?
What is the role of the critic? A commentator on the role of culture in society or a ticket seller? With the rise of audience development initiatives and social media, what role do critics now play in the conversation about culture? This panel discussion features critics and artists who will debate the issues of trust and power in the media, the role artists play in conversations about their own work and, of course, what the future holds.
