Tamar Clarke-Brown will speak on the role of civic frameworks and radical pedagogy in shaping contemporary art practice, sharing insight into recent projects commissioned and developed with Serpentine Arts Technologies.

Clarke-Brown is an artist, writer and curator (Arts Technologies, Serpentine) who commissions artworks and R&D projects engaged with experimental worldbuilding and the civic potential of technologies. Her work centres storytelling, diasporic practices, underrepresented and overlooked imaginaries. Recent work includes the widely touring video game project Third World: The Bottom Dimension conceptualised by Brazilian artist Gabriel Massan, and upcoming in Autumn 2025; The Delusion, a game-performance project based on the culture wars led by artist, game designer and archivist of Black trans stories, Danielle Brathwaite-Shirley.
