Make Art at Your Own Risk

The course revolves around notions and practices of voicing, beginning with the collaborative teaching approach of artists Manar Zuabi and Thalia Hoffman. It grew out of the two artists’ development of their practice in resistance to socio-political hegemonies.
The course will be divided into four main themes: language, borders, participatory art, and activist interventions in public space. Each section will include discussions of artworks, collective readings, and group and individual exercises. Chosen exercises will be shown within the framework of the open studios.

people with Willingness to listen, reflect, and unlearn, and to go beyond identity politics

Course aim

The course aspires to navigate the complexity of heterogeneous artistic expressions within today's challenging context. Through various art tactics, it encourages an examination of participants’ practices as dynamic parallels that occasionally conflict, sometimes interact, and frequently co-resist. The approach aims to explore and create artworks and actions as responses and responsibilities of artists in spaces marked by violence and loss.
