Artist collaborations in action
For many of us, working with artists is both a dream and a challenge. This one-day pre-conference workshop gives you the opportunity to dive deeper into reflection and experimentation surrounding the professional practice of such collaborations. You’ll participate in an alternation of hands-on experiences, guided discussions and flash talks to inspire conversations and get heads, hands and hearts moving on the topic of collaborative work with artists. Speakers with different backgrounds offer you an all-round experience to understand how to approach collaborative work in an effective and productive way.
Two workshops hosted in the BioTehna lab at Kapelika will be conducted by artists and bio artists.You are warmly invited to bring your own experiences to the table, contributing to making this day a fruitful, beneficial, peer-to-peer community building event.
