Know what you want to say but can't quite find the language to anchor your practice? Dr Fiona Lee of The Rogue Academy will deliver a succinct workshop covering essentials such as writing a professional artist bio, CV, and artist statement.
Identify your Critical Friends during research and development. Locate your practice within local and global contexts. Write well about your art and yourself and learn how to organise your text-based research to best serve your practice.
Critical Tools is part of an artist development program designed by Fiona Lee, delivered as part of the Platform Arts Neighbourhood LAB program, and tailored to local artist needs and interests. Join the LAB artists in an afternoon session of gathering and upskilling.
Presented by Platform Arts and Supported by Making Change.
