You will have the opportunity to hear from the street artists, creative producer, and academics, who will share their experiences. Attendees will also gain insights into the rewards and challenges of participatory research.

Before and after the panel, attendees will be able to view the exhibition, and you can join us for a hands-on creative workshop where you can try your hand at street art. This event is ideal for anyone interested in artistic methods, urban art, and community-engaged research practices.
