Each edition of Cultural Conversations is built around a thought-provoking theme, with inspiring speakers, hands-on activities, performances, and music. No two events are the same – each one has its own unique energy. Whether you’re a painter, ceramicist, designer, photographer, marketeer or just someone with a creative spark, you’ll find your people here.
It’s free, it’s open to everyone, and it’s where ideas turn into action.
Come for the stories. Stay for the energy. Be part of the conversation.
Reinventing the rules
The theme for this edition of Cultural Conversations is ‘Reinventing the Rules’. We’ll be talking rule-breakers and industry disruptors. This session is about pushing boundaries in art, business, and creative thinking.
Whether you’re an artist, a designer, a placemaker, or simply curious about Hull’s future, come join the conversation. Expect great people, big ideas, and plenty to talk about.
Arrive early to catch up with friends and colleagues or stick around after to keep the conversation going.
