Life Artists – Life Art Seminar in conjunction with an interdisciplinary project of the same name

Seminar Content:

  • Text studies that encourage us to perceive so-called artistic activity according to the current socio-political and socio-cultural points of view,
  • Basis for the text studies: 2 to 3 projects in the field, in which we utilize the ‘stories‘ of the life artists we encounter and their respective life 'works' on their own life stages as an opportunity to engage in small, on-site collaborations.
