ANIMISM IN THE CONTEMPORARY REALM: Recognition and co-creation
Tickets: https://www.tickettailor.com/events/mare1/1916034
How can we as Artists/Makers re-cognise, re-concile and co-create with the more than human?
MARE presents the first in a series of workshops and eventual longer course using an alternative art school model, aiming to promote theoretical discussion and application of ideas which have been historically suppressed or sidelined in critical academic environments.
What to expect
Preparation ...
Students will have 3/4 short texts sent out to them to read a couple of weeks before the seminar and will be asked to choose one they wish to focus on

Your ticket includes the full day seminar workshop. Included in the price is the option to take part in a 2 hour zoom session with the group in a months time, where we review and analyse any work made in response to the workshop.
This school model is intended for those either potential, emerging or established artists who want to expand their theoretical toolkit regarding the many layered relationship between ecology and esoteric practices.
Please be aware the day will include meditation and discussion of magickal techniques, although prior knowledge isn't necessary, an openness and ability to take on new ideas is.
