Embodying Process Workshop
with Amber Imrie
This course is for artists who need to workshop projects in a supportive (yet critically engaged) environment. This non-hierarchical workshop brings together artists to exchange critical supportive feedback to develop new, vulnerable, or ongoing projects.
Our feedback sessions are structured on a foundation of compassion - with the common goal to understand each other - in order to offer meaningful insights, relevant knowledge, and useful resources. The classes includes - guided questions, tools and exercises, group discussions, exercises, weekly breakout sessions wherein you get deep personal feedback from their peers. Artists can expect creative exercises and project deadlines to help prompt progress and deep introspection into their research & practice processes.
Embodying Process meets for 8 weeks, after which attending artists have time to complete the projects workshopped in class before submitting them for a group online culminating project; specifics TBD from our class discussions.

Studio Practice at the End of Who’s World
With Tiago Gualberto
An ongoing global crisis, The Apocalypse - The End of the World as we know it - looms as a very real threat. The question we ask is: how does one make art and a life in these times? Furthermore, who's world will end and how will art be made? We turn for guidance from artistic communities where apocalypse has been part of their culture for some time such as black and indigenous artists.
Art, Climate & Land-Use
Socio-Environmental Imagination in the age of the Agripocene With Amy Franceschini
The Agripocene* course will look at different forms of art and activism that address issues of land use, climate change and environmental justice with a focus on strategies of collaboration, durational approaches and methods for developing unconventional partnerships to realize the unthinkable. Lectures and invited guests will demonstrate how to move, be moved and to move mass(es) - from the small gesture to large-scale productions that overturn policy, food systems and practices of everyday life to form new paths of resistance, mutual aid and reciprocal engagement.
At Home in the Body
with Janine Antoni
This class will be part laboratory, part playground, part archeological dig: a place to relate, to connect, and to honor difference. Where are we politically, geographically, and culturally? Where are we in terms of our gender and belief systems? How does this affect our making?
