Bob & Roberta Smith on Art as a Human Right

What is the role of public art in shaping our collective imagination? How does economics influence what kind of art is allowed in our public spaces? Where are the opportunities for radical new types of creative activity that can shift what seems possible?

Join artist Toby Tobias Kidd as he explores all of these questions and more with guests including artists, curators, and philosophers in a new podcast series in collaboration with Kings College London, Future Narratives Lab, Art School Plus, and Professor Shanbaum of Coventry University.

A new episode of Public Art & the Economics of Imagination is out today. The artist Patrick Brill, better known as Bob and Roberta Smith, generously shares his experience and thoughts on artists being free to make political statements, the importance of arts education, and how we need to get the government to love and cherish the arts. Amongst other things.
