The conference will be chaired by independent curator and art educationalist Vivienne reiss. The welcoming address will be made by Godfrey Worsdale, Director, BALTIC, Gateshead. Speakers are Fiona crisp, whose current exhibition, Subterrania, is on show at BALTIC until Sunday 4 October; Wendy hyde, artist, researcher and teacher; renée mussai, Archive Project Manager, Autograph ABP, London; michaela ross, artist and researcher; and Judy thomas, artist and Learning Manager, Waygood Gallery and Studios, Newcastle upon Tyne.
