Sarah Cook and Kathy Rae Huffman, co-curators of the Broadcast Yourself exhibition at the Hatton Gallery, meet for brunch and an informal question and answer session at 11:30 at the Star and Shadow Cinema on Stepney Bank, Byker.

This is followed by a panel discussion and presentations from some of the international artists included in the exhibition including Shaina Anand from Mumbai, Karel Dudesek from VanGoghTV, Active Ingredient (Matt Watkins and Rachel Jacobs) of MakeTV and TV producer Maria Pallier.

After a nice cup of tea, stay for a screening of Works for Television followed by an evening screening programme including a documentary about the reality TV show An American Family produced and directed by Alan Raymond and Susan Raymond, and the feature film The Truman Show, chosen for its reflection on what it means to broadcast yourself.

Broadcast Yourself is a touring exhibition produced by AV Festival 08 and Cornerhouse in collaboration with Hatton Gallery. Supported by Arts Council England, CRUMB at the University of Sunderland and The Leverhulme Trust (Early Career Fellowship).
