As a part of the Sierra Nevada College's Interdisciplinary Arts Low-Residency MFA program Maria Sykes will lead a 3-hour workshop that builds on the exhibit co-curated with Bryan Brooks (Epicenter Citizen Designer) for Epicenter, This Place: Selections from the Frontier. The workshop is an exercise in co-creating a temporary exhibit which revolves around personal objects and stories. We'll examine narrative, myth, criticality, community engagement, place, perception, documentation, and accessibility; discuss the nature of integrated and interdisciplinary practice; and explore the artist's position within a community as an outsider, local, visiting, or recurring.
