Workshop on Artistic Activism<\/strong><\/h1><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Are you interested in how society has been influenced by art, meeting artists who create activist art, or making activist or socially engaged art yourself?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In this workshop, we will explore the use of art in social impact through lectures, with a special focus on artistic disability activism. We will meet artists creating activist art and, where possible, visit exhibitions featuring activist or socially engaged art. Alongside the lectures and visits, we will discuss the social issues that participants feel are important and that they would like to influence. Based on the discussions, we will brainstorm, experiment, and develop artworks based on the participants’ starting points, which will be implemented as interventions in the public urban space in Helsinki.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The workshop and materials used are free of charge. Possible visits to exhibitions featuring activist or socially engaged art are audio described. The workshop is conducted in Finnish, but interpretation and participation in English are possible. To participate in the workshop, you do not need previous experience in art \u2014 just be curious and open to new approaches. You can attend the entire workshop or parts that suit you.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If you’re interested, welcome to the lecture on artistic disability activism and the first workshop meeting on Wednesday, November 6, 2024, at 5:00 PM at the premises of N\u00e4k\u00f6vammaisten kulttuuripalvelu ry. You can also participate remotely. A link will be provided via email upon registration.<\/p>\n

Workshop Host<\/h5>\n

 <\/p>\n

The workshop will be facilitated by visual artist JP Kaljonen<\/a>(MFA), who is visually impaired himself. Partly due to his visual impairment, his artistic production has focused on various community art and public space projects, where instead of focusing on visuality, the emphasis is on collaboration and promoting the goals of different communities through art.
