“My life may not be like yours, because I live my life as an artwork” — Daniel Lismore
Join us for a unique event that will explore high fashion, art and sustainability. In this candid conversation, Daniel Lismore, the talent behind the ‘living sculpture’, will discuss mental health, masculinity in the fashion world and climate change activism with Outburst Queer Arts Artistic Director, Ruth McCarthy.
The conversation will be introduced by Our Place in Space artist and fellow climate change advocate, Oliver Jeffers.
