Gendered Performance Intensive
with Alicia Framis
Gender inequality is the subject of public debate. Everywhere in the world, real calamities are happening, dead women, anti-abortion, homophobism, issues that already seemed solved - from one day to the next has eroded, and we have lost our space in freedom. How do we put our convictions into practice, and go from theory to action, now?
In genre performances we can once again gain space and visibility in a poetic, realistic, sustainable and emphatic way with our society.
GENDERED PERFORMANCE focuses on practice rather than theory, since it is through action in art that we can understand our artistic practice and progress. We will learn from the others in the group, knowing that social relations shape our historical, social, cultural, religious, economic and sexual contexts.

Carving Connections *Time-Based Media Emphasis
An independent study program with Amber Imrie
Carving Connections ISP is designed to help you explore and strengthen your unique artistic voice by engaging deeply with a focus on time-based media. This course combines technical skills with creative exploration, focusing on video art, sound design, and the art of storytelling through moving images. You’ll gain practical experience using Adobe Premiere to edit video and sound, while experimenting with video quality, timing, multi-channel formats, GIFs, and other emerging media.
Through hands-on tutorials, we’ll explore how sound and image come together to create compelling works that resonate emotionally and intellectually. We’ll also dive into the logistics of exhibiting and installing video work, discussing how to present time-based pieces in physical spaces and online platforms. Along the way, you’ll receive personalized feedback from mentors and peers, all in a collaborative environment that encourages experimentation and growth.
This course is a great opportunity to expand your creative toolkit and develop your voice within the realm of contemporary video art, while continuing the Carving Connections tradition of fostering self-expression and artistic community.
