Event overview
The centre for Creative and Social Technologies (CAST) at Goldsmiths is launching officially on the 26th April
We would be delighted if you would join us for wine, sushi, and a pecha kucha event that challenges our friends from Goldsmiths to brevity and impact: 6 minutes and 40 seconds to explore innovation in their field.
Our speakers bring together a diverse range of disciplines under the CAST theme for 2012-13: Innovation.
Chris Brauer, Co-Director of CAST, said, ‘It’s been a great first year of operation for CAST and we see this as our chance to let everyone in the college know what we do and encourage them to get involved’.
Our compère for the evening will be former MA Creative and Life Writing student, and Edinburgh Fringe Slam champion 2010, Mark Grist (markgrist.com), who has just completed two national tours with his performance poetry. His double act, Dead Poets, seeks to challenge preconceptions of poetry and hip hop, and was recently featured on BBC 6 Music with Steve Merchant. Recently, a video of Mark’s rap battle with Blizzard went viral which has earned him a huge amount of media attention with the Independent on Sunday calling him a ‘Face to Watch’.
We will be announcing our full schedule shortly.
Everyone welcome but tickets are limited so for more details and to secure your ticket please R.S.V.P. asap.
