We need opportunities to reflect and analyze the key trends and to step back from our activities, listen to the views of others and even learn new skills. The annual Takeaway Festival of DIY Media has a role to play here. Since 2006, it as been providing just such a space where you can see, listen and learn. It has brought together artists, performers, social commentators, curators, technologists, scientists and manufacturers. It has run a rich programme of talks, workshops and as helped influence current thinking and practice within a number of different fields. |
