Writing/RIGHTing a Feminist Art Practice: an investigation into parallel texts and parallel FAGs
Facilitated by Amy Fung
Hosted by The Hammock Residency as part of FAG Satellite at Access Gallery
Investigating and challenging the parameters of language, namely, art language as a directive, descriptive, and dominant mode of formal
understanding, this workshop is designed to encourage "parallel texts" -- a mode of writing and thinking that exists as a strategy to open up ulterior entry points into exhibitions and experiences.
The workshop is free to attend, but registration is required. Please send an email to amyfung [at] fast mail [dot] fm
A confirmation will be sent to all successful applicants.
