How might the art college of the future look, smell, sound, taste like? What values would you like to focus on, and how could you give expression to those values? What if you could dream, explore and make freely? During a workshop for students on November 3, we will explore possible new visions for higher art education while making. The workshop will be given by Els Cornelis.

The workshop invites you to radically rethink and generate ideas about possible new methods, processes and other relationships, structures and spaces. From an introductory meditative exercise in which we dream as big and concrete as possible about the art college that could be ideal for you, we continue with researching by making. Everything is possible: a prototype design, a 3D sketch, an architectural or musical (ambient) impression, a performance or an installation of objects. At the end of the workshop we will share the results of this research. The resulting material can be used in this project's publishing series - only with the consent of the participant, of course.

Please bring your own material
The material to bring along can be chosen as desired with only one restriction: it consists only of analogue (preferably sustainable or recycled) material, such as cardboard, rubber bands, coloured adhesive tape, string, markers, pieces of cloth, paper cups, garbage bags, ping-pong balls, rubber gloves, pieces of wood or plant material.

As part of the working group 'Roadmap to Equality in the Arts' and in collaboration with ArtEZ studium generale, Els Cornelis (HKU) and Catelijne de Muijnck (ArtEZ) are investigating the above questions. Material gathered from interviews and workshops will be incorporated into a series of articles published on APRIA, ArtEZ's online platform, in the spring of 2022.
