Two Up: Talks

Two Up is a talk series that combines two completely unrelated topics in back to back lectures. The floor is then opened up to the audience for a fun and impulsive round of questioning, encouraging interaction between speakers and ideas.

Two Up is for inquisitive minds both young and old. It’s a bit silly and very educational. In a world of increasing specialisation Two Up creates a space where get outside of your box.

For this special Vivid Ideas edition, Two Up Talks brings you two experts from completely unrelated creative industries. This round will back up Megan Le Masurier on Slow Media and Chris Fox on Public Art.
