Ethnography in Visual Arts Practice Workshop Programme:

Fire Station Artists’ Studios in partnership with FOMACS (Forum on Migration and Communications) will present a workshop programme exploring the relationship between ethnographic methods, representation, human rights and the ethics of collaborative engagement in visual arts practice.

Consisting of three interconnected one day workshops in early December 2011, Jan and February 2012 facilitated by internationally recognized guest lecturers, each session will combine prescribed readings and discussion, connecting ethnographic theory and method to participants’ creative practice. ‘Ethnography in Visual Art Practice’ will appeal to visual art and media practitioners conducting long-term fieldwork in sited communities.

Deadline for applications: Monday 7th November 2011.
