Contemporary Art in Times of Crisis: Frances Morris in Conversation

Frances Morris discussed the fundamental role art can play in our threatened world.

What duty does an artist – and the art sector - have to ask the big questions about the times we live in, and to make us reflect and act differently for the future of the planet? Frances Morris talked about what art can – or can’t – do, and some of the projects that could make a difference.
