This introductory workshop enables participants tools to understand how to engage with shifting forms of power; in effect to call out power and unmask it. The workshop asks what is means to participate in artistic practices with others with utmost care, awareness, and the willingness to share power. Participants will be asked to speak and engage with their own stories and listen actively to others to enable equitable engagement in the arts world. The workshop transforms critical discussions of power into simple tools for everyday practice. Places are limited.
