In this episode of Culture in a Time of Crises, Brussels based artist and musician Chris Evans talks to Dr. Shwetal A. Patel about growing up in the north of England, how local politics affected his life choices and his adventurous path to art making. Evans also shares his experiences of how he ended up in art school at a time when it wasn’t considered a viable or prestigious career. Reminiscing about the romantic notion of a life of an artist, and what that might be, Evans explores his fascination of working with civil society figures and the relationship between the oral in the visual and contemporary art.
