ArtistSpeak* – A.I.

Get ready to dive deep into the world of artificial intelligence with ArtistSpeak – A.I., where creativity meets technology! Part talk show, conversation, and collective making space exploring how artists are navigating artificial intelligence as both a creative tool and cultural force. Join us for an evening of dialogue and reflection as artists share how A.I. is shaping their practices, workflows, ethics, and relationships to authorship and labour. Together, we’ll explore questions of originality, collaboration, resistance, and possibility — and what it means to create in an era where technology is evolving faster than our language for it. Hosted by Kenna Burima, this gathering invites curiosity over certainty and conversation over conclusions, creating space for artists to think critically and creatively about the future unfolding around us. Featured Artists: Uche Peter Umezurike, Jason Mehmel & Lucky Leggot Craft Activity: Zines! A zine (pronounced ‘zeen’) is an independently or self-published booklet, either created through collage, traditionally using a mix-n-match of text and images to spread whatever message you like. Doors: 4:30 PM | Program: 5:00 PM
