The Arts as Political Resistance | Torrance Festival of Ideas
Peter O’Connor
Having spent many years creating and researching theatre with the homeless and in disaster zones, it is possible to think of the arts as acts of cultural resistance. The political power of the work is in the idea that imagination and play are about broader and deeper human possibilities.
Peter O’Connor is director of the Centre for Arts and Social Transformation at the University of Auckland, New Zealand. He has created and researched theatre in marginalized spaces including prisons, psychiatric hospitals, with the homeless, and in disaster zones for more than 30 years.
