Tate Modern’s one day Turbine Festival kicks off on Saturday July 25, bringing zine making, beat boxing, poetry and music from Afrikan Boy, Throwing Shade, The Fish Police and more, to the Turbine Hall.
Huck’s editor Andrea Kurland will be speaking at the provocatively titled How to Change the World discussion, alongside Karla Sweet from Arts Emergency, which provides arts mentoring to thousands of young people, and Genevieve Dawson from Campaign Bootcamp, which works to upskill the next generation of campaigners.
Looking back through Huck’s extensive archives on activists and change makers from across the globe, she’ll be asking if magazines can change the world.
How to Change the World is free but booking is recommended. Join us at Tate Modern, McAulay Schools and Family Room, Saturday July 25, 18.30 – 19.30.
