“Procedure from Shadows”, brings together expertise in Social Justice and Brazilian contemporary art to explore the relationship between social interventions and visual art. The student will be encouraged to create new artistic responses through weaving Brazilian artist´s experiences and stories with social engagement.
This class will focus on lesser known Black and Indigenous contemporary artists and ways of art making from Brazil. We will look at current and historical art procedures developed by Black and Indigenous Brazilian artists. We will explore what the motivations were for crafting these procedures as a way of forming art practices, as well as how the artwork that came out of them reflected the political and cultural contexts the artists found themselves within. Students will also explore the procedures from their own stances as artists, by making their own work based upon the procedures we cover in the course.
Kenneth Bailey is the co-Founder and Strategy Lead at the Design Studio for Social Intervention.
