Pre-Conference

Thursday September 8th 2022 from 8:30-5p.m.

"Surfacing Subjugated Knowledge Through Art Making and Play"

This full day pre-conference course will complement the keynote address to be given the following day. It can also be experienced as a stand – alone opportunity. Participants will be invited into an expansion of the Open Studio Process that involves a segment of text study in pairs. This experience will occur in breakout rooms and allow participants to engage with a colleague in exploring several novel text excerpts that explore possibilities for restoring the creative process to the center of our lives, communities and profession. The day will continue with further elaboration and exploration through art making via the Open Studio Process of intention, creating, and witness writing and reading. A final full group discussion and share back will complete the day.
