Art on the Brink of Brexit

As we release our final podcast of 2020, we're still muddling
through Brexit in the UK, with the nation holding its breath to
see what this momentous change will mean for us all In timely
fashion, we're revisiting our live event Art on the Brink of
Brexit, recorded in 2018, which hosted a panel of first and
second generation migrant artists working in the UK, to
discuss what Brexit would mean for them, and what it would mean
for the future of the arts in Britain.


 


We were joined by Bojana Janković from theatre
collective There There, a performance company
which is 50% Romanian and 50% Serbian, Victor
Pãtrãşcan, a comedian originally from Romania, and
theatre maker Miriam Sherwood, whose cabaret
Rendezvous in Bratislava is inspired by her
Slovak grandfather.


 


We discussed the impact of the EU referendum on their work, how
art can cross cultural divides and help heal the fractures caused
by Brexit, with some very lively audience discussion on the
differences between an expat and an immigrant and whether or not
offensive comedy is worth the laughter.


 


A huge thank you to all of our listeners this year and to all of
2020's guests, who kindly contributed their time to bring the
Dash Arts Podcast to life. Despite the loss of our live events,
it was a pleasure to engage with our audiences through 16
incredible podcasts that we loved making.
