Participants will examine the merits and pitfalls of art projects that activate a critical exchange between local communities and artists, learning to identify the problematic power dynamics of representation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Drawing on scholars like Hal Foster, Claire Bishop, Grant Kester and Miwon Kwon, participants will question the positionality of curators and artists in relation to the communities they work for and with. What does it achieve to identify a \u201ccommunity\u201d when its image is created by another? How do curators and artists, in the role of outsiders, activate dialog with the residents? How do they manage conflicts and antagonism?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8220;Leave the Community Alone&#8221; was first developed as Isabella Indolfi&#8217;s thesis for the MA program in <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/chra.bard.edu\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Human Rights and the Arts<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> at Bard College, and subsequently presented at the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.schoolofdigitalarts.mmu.ac.uk\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Manchester Metropolitan University of Art<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> (UK), at <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/residencyunlimited.org\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Residency Unlimited<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, and at <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/stormbookstore.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Storm Bookstore<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> in Brooklyn (NY).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Select scholarships and solidarity discounts are available for this seminar.
