In this artist talk join RAGE Collective artists who will be discussing their new work for CFCCA in Gallery 2 on the subject of politics and protest in the Digital Age. They will also be answering questions about how they work, their collaborative practice and approaches to political artworks.

This talk is part of CFCCA’s Thursday Late programme, where the galleries will be open until the later time of 8pm, so there will be opportunity to view the installation before and after the talk takes place, as well as the exhibition of He Xiangyu’s Lemon Project.
