Engaging INDECENCIA
with Nicolás Dumit Estévez Raful Espejo Ovalles

This experiential walk-through INDENCENCIA, the current exhibition at Leslie Lohman Museum of Art, incorporates deep-listening, embodied writings prompted by the artworks in the show, as well as gentle somatics, which will invite our group to remain fully present with every step we take. The impetus of this gallery visit is to go beyond notions of spectatorship within the context of an art exhibition and to open up to the possibility of metabolizing the artworks intellectually, physically and spiritually.

About INDECENCIA

Syllabus

A Mass of Cyborgs
at The Center for Art, Research and Alliances (CARA)

A Mass of Cyborgs, the first solo exhibition by South African artist and composer Neo Muyanga. The exhibition gathers recent and older works, deepening Muyanga’s exploration of how protest songs, sound, and voice can invoke memory, radiate empowerment, and be deployed as tools to prompt radical action. Muyanga’s work uncovers and animates long-standing archives of music and idiomatic song that ring out against the endless transformations of infrastructural oppression, preserving understandings of sound as both a vital form of knowledge, and as a measure of history.

The Center for Art, Research and Alliances (CARA) is an emergent arts nonprofit, research center, and publisher that aims to expand public discourses and historical records to reflect art’s abundant pasts, presents, and futures. CARA was born over a five-year research period and developed in conversation with cultural workers aspiring to create just futures through the arts. CARA’s formal launch builds upon a two-year publishing program with a schedule of new initiatives including research fellowships, exhibitions, and public programs that seek to challenge dominant narratives and reflect the abundance of arts and culture.

CARA is envisaged as a space for un-learning, kinship, and care, and values the practice of being an organization-in-formation in perpetuity.

Using the Archive
at Asia Art Archive in America

Using the Archive is a workshop for both new and returning researchers on how to navigate Asia Art Archive in America’s physical and digital resources. This program offers a guide to Asia Art Archive(AAA)’s acquisitions processes, as well as a walkthrough of some of the features of and search tools for our Collections.

Since 2000, AAA has been collecting primary and secondary materials surrounding recent art in and of Asia and our growing Research and Library Collections now contain over 120,000 records, ranging from publications and ephemera to correspondence, photographic documentation, and video recordings. To facilitate access and improve the user experience, AAA is constantly updating features on our digital platform, making sure these valuable resources remain available to users worldwide.

This workshop begins with an overview of AAA’s Collections and their development, followed by a session on how to access and make use of the digital platform on site at our Brooklyn Heights location.

AAA’s mission is to act as a catalyst for new ideas that enrich our understanding of the world through the collection, creation, and sharing of knowledge around recent art in and of Asia. By collecting, preserving, and making accessible information on contemporary art from and of Asia, AAA in A facilitates public understanding and specialized research, instigates dialogue and critical thinking, and seeks to raise awareness of and support for the activities of Asia Art Archive in Hong Kong.

studio visit
with adelita husni-bey

Adelita Husni-Bey is an artist and pedagogue invested in anarcho-collectivism, theater, and critical legal studies. She organizes workshops and produces publications, broadcasts, and exhibition work using noncompetitive pedagogical models through the framework of contemporary art. Involving activists, architects, jurists, schoolchildren, spoken-word poets, actors, urbanists, physical therapists, students, and teachers, her work consists of making sites in which to practice collectively. She was part of the Italian Pavilion at the 57th Venice Biennale in 2017 with a video installation foregrounding anti-extractivist struggles and tarot reading as a pedagogical practice. She is a 2020–2022 Vera List Center Fellow with a project centered on the radical changes in social relations brought about by responses to past and current pandemics.

Sharing practice: Reflexivity and Reciprocity
with Dr. Allison Geremia

This is an exercise.

A PhD and an MFA both require the completion of certain exercises that establish measurable outcomes to an institution. These outcomes may appear less directly in a practice-focused degree program.

In this exercise, I’d like you to select a maximum of 2 artworks. These can be made by you or be made by someone else. Your selection should be highly influential to your work. These can be in conversation with each other or with your process through the program.

Following the prompts emailed to you, we will generate an informal presentation followed by a forum. You may select any format that you like for your 3-5 minute unpacking of the work selected.

Yielding, Rolling, Standing
somatic session with Sarah Barnaby

As adults, how can we inhabit the open-ended possibilities of being where we are and moving from there — and living into what could be, which isn’t necessarily where we were?

This movement class explores developmental patterns in the context of our adult bodies. Moving through these patterns in our current bodies can help us understand our movement choices and offers a way in to adding more choices.

Informed by a Body-Mind Centering® approach to developmental movement, Yielding, Rolling, Standing is an opportunity to consciously re-engage with the early learning process of finding our way to walking.

No previous experience with developmental movement or Body-Mind Centering is required.

Sarah Barnaby is a Body-Mind Centering® Teacher and an Infant Developmental Movement Educator (IDME), and is registered as a Somatic Movement Educator and Therapist through ISMETA. Sarah teaches developmental movement to babies of all ages – from infants to elders – in NYC. She is the co-founder and co-director of Babies Project with Amy Matthews. Her research and teaching collaboration with Satu Palokangas, exploring the interconnections between cells, babies and community, has been supported by a 3-year grant from the Kone Foundation.
