Tuesday, January 12 7:30 – 9:00 p.m. online through Zoom
What does collaboration really mean? When artists seek to collaborate without shared understanding about what this means, conflicts may arise. However, collaboration often leads to stronger artistic projects and new ways of learning that may not happen while working alone.
Featuring guest speakers Thea Patterson (uAlberta Ph.D. student) and Migueltzinta Solís (uLethbridge Ph.D. student), and hosted by ASTeRIX graduate assistant Tyler Stewart, this Intersections panel-style discussion seeks to clarify what artistic collaboration really entails, with participants learning how to work creatively in a collaborative environment that emphasizes communication, visualization, and presentation of information. While this event primarily focuses on supporting student and emerging artist/scholars seeking to engage in new collaborative projects, all are welcome.
Main discussion topics include the following points; however, open discussion event structure allows and encourages all participants to contribute to the conversation and engage with their peers.
- What does collaboration really mean?
- The hows and whys of collaboration
- When is it not collaboration?
- Common collaboration challenges
