Inclusive Access to Fabrication with Slaghammer Collective

From grassroots community workshops to institutional fabrication, who is granted access to the tools, skills, and spaces of physical making?

In this talk, Slaghammers tackle the question “Who gets to make?” through the lens of metalwork. They will examine their voluntary community-led initiatives, spotlighting the barriers faced by queer, working-class, multigenerational, and grassroots communities, alongside their commercial commission work as institutional fabricators. Expect an honest, rich discussion unpacking the intersections of class, gender, cost, and technical labour in the art world, followed by a Q&A.
