FACE (Fashion and the Arts Creating Equity) and the Royal College of Art join together for this year’s FACE Summit: FACExRCA Conversations 2024. This year’s summit theme is Decentering Spaces.
This two day summit brings together industry leaders, innovators and RCA alumni to consider how art and design higher education and the creative industries can be more equitable. The event includes three sessions, focused on decentering learning, recentering souls and decentering spaces, and will also offer opportunities for creative exchanges and networking.
The event will be opened by keynote speaker Charlie Casely-Hayford in conversation with Andrew Ibi.
Get ready to be inspired, connect with like-minded individuals, and gain valuable insights into the equitable future of art and design.
“In creating this year’s FACE Summit, our collective wish was to nourish the soul and bring emotion and play into the room. We are delighted to be working with RCA’s Joyce Addai-Davis and Zowie Broach, Head of Programme for the RCA’s MA Fashion, to realise this vision within the uplifting Campus Studio Building.”
Co-founder and Chair of FACE and Associate Professor, LMU
What is FACE?
FACE is a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to catalysing transformation within Higher Education Arts and Design fields, and the creative industries. FACE’s mission is to champion equity, inclusivity and unity, with a specific focus on addressing issues related to race, colour, and ethnicity.
FACE is driven firstly by the belief that when anti-Blackness challenge and protocol is centred, all racially minoritised staff and students will benefit. Secondly, that the intersection of fashion, the arts and academia is a powerful force for positive change.
