Hetain Patel’s work explores ideas of identity and how we decide who we are. From stepping into his father’s shoes on an assembly line, to building a working Transformer robot out of his old Ford Fiesta, he examines and challenges the assumptions people make about others based on their race, gender, age, and class. For his latest project 'Come as you really Are', commissioned by Artangel, Patel asked thousands of people to share the fruits of their hobby. The result is an astonishing exhibition that challenges our perception of who gets to be called creative and where the impulse to create stems from. Patel’s belief that creativity is a broad and hopeful concept leads him to often use popular cultural icons and playful stratagems that involve a wide participating audience. Radical Care Artist Talk Series is a programme of free public talks presented by Hereford College of Arts and Meadow Arts. It explores the question of care in the context of contemporary art and how artists are transforming their creative practices to foster well-being and connectedness. Whether you’re a practising artist, student, graduate, or simply curious about the power of art to inspire change, all are welcome to join these free public events to gain fresh insights and engage with bold ideas shaping the future of contemporary art. Please note: This event will take place in the Main Hall.
