Heresies is a feminist journal dedicated to art and politics, published in New York between 1977 and 1993. Each issue was conceived collectively by a different group of artists, theorists, and editors, who asserted that artistic practice can produce a political impact and that identities shape creation. This workshop proposes to explore the connections between art, politics, and collective work by drawing on the content of the 27 issues of Heresies.
In the spirit of the journal's operation, participants will collectively develop a shared corpus of references and forms, to which each participant can freely contribute.
Throughout the week, participants will create a series of screen-printed banners, which will be assembled into a collective patchwork and presented during an exhibition at the end of the week.
Beyond the visual production, this shared time will also provide an opportunity to reflect on how today's ideas, struggles, and practices from this historical publication can resonate.
The evaluation is based on participation in the five days of the workshop and on the degree of active engagement of the participant.
