CVAC Community Conversations
The CVAC (Centre for Visual Arts and Culture at Durham University) Community Conversations series was started in 2020, with informal online presentations by members of the North East’s community, on ‘Meaningful Monuments’.
As a continuation and expansion of this series, the Community Conversations will encompass the built and visual environment more broadly.
