What You'll Do
Participants will research how war and peace are reported and create artwork responding to historical and contemporary war correspondence. You will explore political collage from its early twentieth-century roots in European anti-fascist movements through contemporary practice, while considering how artists can contribute to civic discourse. Beginning in the second week, you will present a weekly collage for critical feedback and develop statements documenting the history and context of your work.
