Situated Practices Seminar

Teacher: Flavio Ferreira Orzari

This course focuses on the collective construction of a field of theoretical-practical references that responds to the artistic projects of APS master's students. Through readings and discussions, we offer a look at the different forms of knowledge mobilized by the artistic-political movements of recent decades, with an emphasis on artistic productions which are organized around different social struggles (class, gender and race). From a decolonial perspective, challenges the universalizing narratives of classical science rooted by the North Atlantic West.

Secondly, the course invites students to reflect on the way in which their artistic projects and practices are situated within the world in which we live and vis-à-vis the collective, considering that what we do as he artists directly and indirectly impact the lives of others. The program finally encourages research at two levels, individual and collective, by establishing methodologies for cooperation and continuous self-evaluation.
