Media-making as Healing Practice

(4 Credits)

Where does healing reside in media-making? How do we approach creating artistic processes and tools that move towards minimizing harm, supporting collective care, and understanding what healing means for ourselves and with one another? This course examines artistic processes and frameworks that reconstruct, reclaim, and decolonize ‘healing.’ Together, we will 1) gather embodied data from our daily lives, 2) critically engage with disability, race, queerness, and diasporic experience through reading and discussion, and, 3) develop our own healing processes through experimentative tool-making, performance work, and/ or space-making.
