WHO IS IT FOR
This seminar is aimed at artists, photographers, and creatives working within any discipline or methodology, wishing to expand and enrich their present practice. The goal is for participants to leave with new tools and thinking processes to progress in their practice and professional career, escaping self-imposed limitations.
DESCRIPTION
The seminar encourages you as a participant to think critically about your practice as a means to unraveling new avenues for exploration. Following a presentation you will be invited to share with other participants your practice in a conversational and relaxed atmosphere. Through a series of group dynamic reflections, and real-life examples, we will identify a number of ways in which our creative and intellectual growth becomes restricted and will find out why this happens. With a series of playful exercises, we will propose ways to learn from these limitations, using them creatively as positive characteristics.
