MXNIFESTO
Join artists and collaborators Fiona Gordon and Roibí O Rua in developing a MXNIFESTO.
This workshop will guide participants in constructing an artist manifesto from a Cyberfeminist lens, with abstract and dadaist approaches to writing and composing text.
The facilitators will guide you in forming thoughts, articulating them, deconstructing and rearranging them, glitching your ideas and opinions into a datafile that demands to be seen and heard in an attempt to define new realities through language, word play and a mashing of ideas.
We’ll share our methods of research and DIY hacking techniques to aid in the creation of a personal database. The aim of this workshop is to form a digital community amongst participants where agendas can continue to grow and be shared.
Please note: Participants are asked to bring their own laptop. Alternatively email DAS before booking if you need access to a computer to participate in the workshop.
The workshop costs £40 and places are limited.
