Course desription: Post-summer school brings together artists and researchers to re-think the contemporary geopolitical situation and do things together as artists. The school will also host Ukrainian art students. You will be able to choose one of the 5 labs and migrate between them if you like.
How do we situate ourselves and our art practices amidst the contemporary geopolitics and war? What kind of art should we make and how do the contemporary circumstances change it? How does our practice sit within the societal dimension? Do we throw out our paintbrushes and begin a community radio or urban garden project? What should I now read, how do I write about and present my artistic research and practice? How can we collaborate with limited resources? How do we advocate for and practice inclusivity within the art school and our everyday lives?
The goal of the post-summer school is to share and reflect upon the last year of your BA/ MA (artistic research) projects, gain feedback and support in writing. We will close the school by producing (e)zines together to share our experiences and make a record of our ideas for the future.
