Though increasingly familiar in the UK, what does it mean to be a socially engaged artist in another cultural context? Emma Smith and Oliver Sumner, of art collective Delta Arts, unpack this and other questions addressed by their recent Golden Threads programme of artist research fellowships between London, Beirut and Copenhagen.

They will be joined by artists involved in the professional development programme in 2010, including Norwich-based collaborative duo Townley and Bradby, who completed a fellowship to Denmark and Lebanese artist/designer Samar Maakaron, based in London since 2008.

This event is organised by Delta Arts in partnership with ARC.
