Creative Practice on the Outside: In Person and Online Conversation

This session sits with an open question: what does it mean to work with aesthetics? What can [...] ellipses be?

This session sits with an open question: what does it mean to work with aesthetics? What can [...] ellipses be? Not just as a journal, but as a space, one that holds and hosts aesthetic discourse, experimentation, and ways of thinking that don’t always fit neatly within disciplinary or institutional frames. How might Ellipses function to open, rather than close, the possibilities of creative research? 

We’ll spend time with the processes behind the texts, how contributors move across and against form, authorship, and method, and what kinds of knowledge emerge through those aesthetic practices. We’re also interested in how these approaches begin to produce forms of aesthetic solidarities, ways of being in relation through shared sensibilities, political commitments, and creative methods that resonate across contexts. 

Through presentations and conversation, contributors reflect as much on method as on outcome, tracing how aesthetics entangle with politics, experience, and ways of knowing. Featuring presentations by Parsa Sajid, Ruuska Jaakko, Maria Luiza de Barros Rodrigues, Jerónimo Reyes-Retana, and Alex Arteaga, followed by a moderated conversation with Sinethemba Twalo and Stacy Hardy. 

Join us for an open exchange on creative practice as a site of resistance, disruption, and speculative method, and as a way of collectively asking what spaces like [...] ellipses can become and how they might hold us in relation.
