Advice Bar

16, 17, 23, 24, 30 November & 1 December 2023.

Advice Bar NU was an action research project that ran in Gallery North at lunchtimes. It is based on the premise of informal knowledge and advice through one-to-one engagement with a stranger, at the familiar interface of a bar-like structure. There were simple rules, one drink in exchange for one problem, no money changes hands. Sessions engaged with a range of aspects of academic life from Research Rejection to Interdisciplinary Indiscipline; the Bar was open to all as either advisor or advisee.
