Colin Yates on Sport and "Art as a Message"

Sport in History

Join Max Portman as he interviews artist Colin Yates on sport and "art as a message", discussing how Colin's career and major projects have highlighted art as a message through the lens of football.

Talking primarily about football for an aptly-timed 90 minutes (plus 3 minutes of injury time), Max and Colin cover a lot of ground, discussing how Colin's major projects on Black Footballers and women's football have driven home the three main themes that shape his work: Art, Sport and Education. They also discuss Colin's love for the underdog, how their creative processes work and at one point, the tables are turned when Colin begins to interview Max.

This is for those not only with an interest in football or art, but also those with an interest in how creativity can shape the world and shape attitudes to educate and inform people.

Note: The Artwork featured is 'Jack Leslie 'Silenced' ' by Colin Yates. For more of Colin's work, visit his website at : https://www.colinyatesart.com/
