*Read & Repair - Sense-full Pedagogy feat. K MacBride and Yun Lee* On Sunday 25th April we have a *READ* with K MacBride followed by a *REPAIR* with Yun Lee.
*READ* The text selection and our reading choreography in April was made by artist K MacBride. K is an artist and editor. They work with performance, installation, writing, video, and event making, with and without institutions. Much of their practice focuses on relational entanglements, listening across and being attentive to difference, and working creatively towards an ethics of inseparability and interdependency. Collaboration and supportive practices are important to them; some of these look like art, some don’t. During times when they didn’t identify as an artist (and during times when they did) they worked in the care industry. They are currently undertaking PhD research, funded by the UK Arts and Humanities Research Council, at University of the Arts London with a research project titled “Listening as creative practice, listening and decolonial practices: plural methods, plural experiences.” We'll be listening together to a recording of xwélméxw artist, writer, academic, and curator Dylan Robinson reading excerpts from his book "Hungry Listening: Resonant Theory for Indigenous Sound Studies" (2020, University of Minnesota Press) and from an essay in progress "Song Life." These recordings were made for the "Unsettling Scores" series curated by Liquid Architecture and are available here https://disclaimer.org.au/contents/unsettling-scores/hungry-listening. There is no prior reading needed before we come together to Read, we experience the texts for the first time together. *Date:* Sunday 25th April *Time:* 11:00-13:00 CEST *Location:* https://pad.vvvvvvaria.org/sense-full_pedagogy_song_life *REPAIR* The Repair session of this theme is hosted by artist Yun Lee. Yun Lee is an artist, performer, and curator whose work mostly engages with recording technology (the phonograph, score-making, the internet) to navigate shifting definitions of what being human is. Other works turn to acoustic phenomena to push the capacities of individual and collective sensorial experience. Recently they have been working on the “School of Camouflage”, a research project looking at camouflage practices in visual, movement, and social cultural contexts. These practices include passing, deception, misdirection and masking. In this workshop, participants will be exploring principles of camouflage and deception, how they are effectively used in contexts including information warfare, how we can sense them, and how we can repurpose them in our own practices as artists/designers/technologists. *Please drop us an email at **i...@varia.zone* <i...@varia.zone> * if you would like to join.* *Requirements:* Internet connection, webcam, Among Us. If you cannot download the game for whatever reason, you can be one of the observers. *Date:* Sunday 25th April *Time:* 16:00-18:00 CEST *Location:* https://bbb.constantvzw.org/b/cri-yp7-stj-8oc More info: http://varia.zone/en/rr-sensefull-pedagogy-2.html
