Summary

Research - Sensuality - Dream worlds - Protest - Provocation
Art is neither female nor male. Art arises from human existence and human sensations both internally and externally. And yet it is often other sensual and physical perceptions from which women create their works.

"The creation of a work is accompanied by a lifetime of experiences and a world of the imaginative. Developed from many questions while searching for answers."
Magdalena Abakanowicz
We will travel to different creative worlds and resonate with the lives and works of artists who have worked with very different materials and taken very different paths.
We will work with work observations and film excerpts, with reflection and exchange on the artists' own texts playing an important role.

This seminar is recognized by the EMR as further training for art therapists.
