ART-3900AD: Active Listening and Social Art Practice

Developing our capacity to actively listen is critical to the art of social practice and helps us understand the politics of our various social positions. In this one-day workshop, we will actively consider some of the various ways artists and other social practitioners can use listening as strategies for effective community engagement. We will experiment with story telling, drawing, theater, and site-specific exercises on Antioch’s campus to challenge our inherited dominant systems of speaking, telling and informing. Through this experiential learning process, we will create applied strategies for our own practices, and collectively form a project proposal.
