Danger of a Single Story - Shaking the Concept of Whiteness
Workshop open for all at Zodiak on 24.4., deadline for registration 8.4.
Description of the workshop
Can information be objective or neutral? How is reality constructed, and how does it manifest in our society? What kinds of stories we tell about otherness? What kinds of power structures we reinforce or deconstruct through art? Through what kind of spectacles we look at the world around us?
The workshop given by activist Maryan Abdulkarim and choreographer Sonya Lindfors investigates and shakes up the concept of whiteness through speaking and looking, taking apart, exploring and experimenting.
