Tuesday April 21 (Remote Gallery)
Reading/Learning/Studying Together
Facilitated by Zoe Imani Sharpe

This workshop looks broadly at how collective study (reading, listening, moving, talking, being in the same room) is crucial for artistic collaboration.

We’ll look at a few recent and historical examples of collaborative practice; including the work of Anna Martine Whitehead, DAWA (Diasporic African Women’s Art), Theory, A Sunday, and others. We’ll reflect on ways to practice collective research, sometimes in spaces not usually deemed “artistic.” What do we want to learn with and from one another? What can emerge, now, from what’s already been done?

Participants will also leave with a set of practical, relational questions to help navigate agreements/contracts, conflict, working styles and communication. Bring your own experiential knowledge and a spirit of generosity.
