<\/p>\n

You are warmly invited to the closing event of Fairground \u2013 Waste Not Want Not, at the Sidney Cooper Gallery, Canterbury<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As part of the fairground of art, politics and ideas, this experimental live art intervention explores the communities and ideas that are left at the margins of today\u2019s economic exchange. It playfully challenges the representations of class and marginalisation in the contemporary moment, and subverts the nation\u2019s desire for the consumption of poverty<\/p>\n

Live artist Kelly Green has worked with the young people from Astor College in Dover and Valleys Kids, Wales, in experimentally deconstructing common ideas of class, the (un)deserving poor, and challenging society’s ideologies of \u201cwaste\u201d.<\/p>\n

This event is programmed by Canterbury Christ Church University (CCCU) and Valleys Kids, Tate Exchange Associates.<\/p>\n
