The workshop gathers artists who are using different mediums of their creative expressions to address intimate, social, and political issues relevant for local, regional and/or global contexts. Socially engaged artists from Turkey, China and Serbia will address the broad topic of Un/Freedom, and link it to their art, their thinking, past or present activities or interests.
Some of the questions and issues which may initiate our discussions are: freedom, its lacks and limits; freedom as/through creation and destruction; un/free body, emotion, mind and desire; freedom and public-private space; freedom and dis/appearance... This is not an exhaustive list of themes we hope to discuss with the artists and with the attending audience.
