If you are an artist or arts industry professional attending Fierce Festival 2019 please join us for a day of industry talks, discussions and networking at MAC. Please register your interest by emailing contact@wearefierce.org. The day will be scheduled so that you can see two shows at MAC: Album by Mariana Valencia (at 4pm) and Every Body Electric by Doris Uhlich (at 6.30pm) – so do book your tickets for these soon as we expect they will sell out.
Schedule:
12.30pm – 1.00pm, Registration & Coffee Morning with Oozing Gloop: Glooptopia Coffee Morning
Join Oozing Gloop for a relaxed and informal gathering exploring new ways to think about the future. Immerse yourself into the scrying of coffee stains. Where an accidental divination system is used to ride a highway to new worlds!
1.00pm – 1.15pm, Welcomes
1.15pm – 2.15pm, Fierce at 21.

Chaired by Phoebe Patey-Ferguson.
