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.

This class will focus on lesser known Black and Indigenous contemporary artists and ways of art making from Brazil. We will look at current and historical art procedures developed by Black and Indigenous Brazilian artists. We will explore what the motivations were for crafting these procedures as a way of forming art practices, as well as how the artwork that came out of them reflected the political and cultural contexts the artists found themselves within. Artists will also explore the procedures from their own stances, by making their own work based upon the procedures and approaches we cover in the course.
